Ulundhu Kanji Recipe (2024)

Ulundhu Kanji Recipe (Urad Dal porridge recipe)

This is one of my favorite combo meals. Amma makes this thogayal whenever she makes this kanji. The spicyness, nuttyness and tangyness go well with the plain little sweeter tasting kanji. I have already posted a combo kanji recipe, check out this milk kanji with green gram thoran.

Porridge are very healthy for you, since they don't have any oil in it and it normally made with rice and some kind of dals, it taste heavenly and it is really good for you. I have posted a version of this kanji which is made with wheat. You can check out my wheat dal kanji too.

I have another kanji and a special combo for that to be posted. I am sure that combination will be new to you and will make you all wonder. Will share it soon. So try this out and let me know how it turned out for you..
