ಹುರುಳಿಕಾಳಿನ ಸಿಹಿ ಉಸ್ಲಿ |
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.
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.

- Ghee – 1 & 1/2 tsp
