Kollu sundal / Horse gram sundal

Written by: 7aumsuvai

Horse gram is also called as kollu paruppu or kaanam in southern districts of Tamilnadu. It has lot of health benefits like lowering cholesterol levels, helps relieve cold and cough, reducing weight. I made sundal out of this kollu paruppu and is a best evening tea time snack.
