Kollu podi recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very easy to make, healthy and so delicious kollu podi recipe.

I make this kollu podi recipe regularly at home, this tastes great with rice, gingely oil and we eat with idli too but I never thought to blog the recipe here. Last week I received requests for recipes with kollu/horsegram. The reader asked for this kollu podi recipe and kollu rasam recipe. So I made a fresh batch of kollu podi last week and clicked pics too 🙂

Kollu/horsegram is one amazing lentil with whole lot of health benefits. One of the most known benefit of horsgram is that it helps in weight loss. It also helps in keeping cholesterol in check, gives energy, helps in treating cold and fever. If you are not interested in consuming plain horse gram soaked in water, then you can try such easy horse gram recipes to get some benefits.

To make kollu podi recipe, along with kollu/ horse gram, I have used channa dal, black urad dal. I have also added a small quantity of methi seeds and cumin seeds. This was the first time I used methi and cumin seeds in paruppu podi but we liked the flavor and taste very much. This is one flavorful and really delicious podi, try this once and you will surely love it.

Serve kollu podi with steamed rice, ghee or oil along with roasted papad. You can also serve kollu podi as side dish with idli/dosa etc. You can also add 1 teaspoon of this podi in any curry or even rasam.
