Horse gram or Kulthi (Hindi) or huruli kalu (Kannada) is a miracle pulse which is most rich in protein. It benefits our health as an anti oxidant, anti bacterial, anti fungal and anti hyperglycemic (un sprouted) forms. Very often I use this miracle pulse in cooking.

There are recipe like horse gram/huruli kattina saaru & usli , huruli/horse gram chutney powder , huruli-semiya payasa , horse gram instant saaru/rasam , mishra kalugala/mixed pulses huli etc are posted here on my blog.

As we are talking about protein, I’m reminded of this yummy, protein rich sweet delicacy, which almost looks like lentil salad and includes all those healthy stuffs which has innumerable health benefits ie Karnataka’s our own Hayagreeva or Hayagreeva maddi aka split bengal gram halwa/chana dal halwa. I insist you should definitely check this recipe. By the way is also has a video demonstration

But today I’m here to share a sweet salad recipe prepared using horse gram. Earlier I have posted something similar recipe using cow peas/lobia – cowpeas sweet usli/salad and this recipe s with a slight difference.

Ingredients : measuring cup used – 250 ml

  • Horse gram/Kulthi/huruli kalu – 1/2 cup (it gets doubled after soaking)
  • Water – 1/2 cup
  • Jaggery – 1/3 cup (tightly packed)
  • Grated fresh coconut – 1/3 cup
  • Ghee – 1 & 1/2 tsp
  • Cloves – 4 to 6
  • Cashews – 2 tbsp
  • Raisins – 1 tbsp
  • Cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp

PROCEDURE :

  • Clean, rinse well and soak the horse gram in enough water for over night
  • Pressure cook along with 1/2 cup of water for up to 3 to 4 whistles, pass it through the strainer and collect the stock to make saaru/rasam
  • Mean while dissolve jaggery in 2 to 3 tbsp of water
  • Heat ghee in a pan, add in cloves, cashews & raisins & cloves, fry for a while, now add in cooked horse gram, saute for a minute
  • Now add in dissolved jaggery syrup and allow it to boil until the mixture turns almost dry
  • Put cardamom powder and coconut, combine well on high heat continuously for a minute, then remove from the heat and serve
