 ULUNDHU SADHAM RECIPE | 

STARTUP COOKING

Ulundhu Sadham and Ellu Thogayal is one of the signature dishes of Tirunelveli district made from black urad dal. Black urad dal is also known as ulutham paruppu in Tamil, Minappappu in Telugu and Uzhunnu Parippu in Malayalam.

In India, it is commonly used in cooking to make dals, dal makhani, idli, rice and kanji. Urad dal is rich in protein and Vitamin B and also it has good source of iron, folic acid, calcium, magnesium and potassium which is required for the body.

Black urad dal has both soluble and insoluble fibers which helps relieve in constipation. This black urad dal is very good for women's to strengthen the bones and muscles. It is also said to improve milk secretion in lactating mothers. Also, this dal is given to girls, when they attain puberty as it strengthens the uterus. 

Here is the few tips that i have learnt from my aunt to make fluffy rice. First, roast the dal, rice and fenugreek seeds separately in low flame until hot to touch. Then rinse in running water and then soak for 15 minutes before adding into the boiling water.

Ulundhu sadham and ellu thogayal is the best combo, so don't skip thogayal while making this rice. This is one of the healthy, easiest and quick one pot meal can be made under 30 minutes. Also, this rice is perfect to pack in the busy morning hours for office and school lunch boxes.
