Preparation method:
  1. Heat a pan, dry roast black urad dal/ulunthu over low flame until they are slightly golden brown in color.
  2. Now wash the roasted dal and rice thoroughly and set it aside.
  3. Heat the instant pot over saute mode (normal heat setting). Once it is hot, add sesame oil, and season it with cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds. Followed by garlic, curry leaves and asafoetida/hing.
  4. Add the washed rice and dal, give a quick mix. Now add 6 to 7 cups of water, grated coconut, salt to taste, dry ginger powder, jaggery powder. Switch off the saute mode and cover the instant pot with a lid (pressure sealed).
  5. Cook them in rice mode, once it is done, either release the pressure voluntarily or let it release naturally.
  6. Ulunthu kanji/black urad dal porridge is ready, mix it thoroughly and serve with thuvaiyal or any tamarind curry of your choice.
Notes:
  • You may replace the coconut grated with coconut milk, but make sure you add the coconut milk after the rice is cooked. Do not cook the rice with coconut milk.
  • You may replace the broken black urad dal with whole black urad dal. I prefer the broken one as it will cook faster than the whole one.
