Recipe to make Kollu thuvaiyal:
How to roast for Horse gram chutney:
- Take a flat pan, dry roast Horse gram (Kollu paruppu) for 5-10mins in medium heat on the stove.
- Until you hear popping sound from the gram, continue to stir without a gap.
- When the Horse gram turns to golden brown color, transfer it to a plate.
- In the same pan heat some oil, add bengal gram dal, roast for two mins until
- Dal turns to light brown color.
- Add garlic pods and red chillies.
- Now add the dry roasted Kollu(Horsegram) and fry in the oil with other ingredients.
- Put coconut, some tamarind and required salt.
- Switch off and let this mixture cool down for minutes.
- Grind the ingredients into a coarse thogaiyal (chutney) by adding some water and set aside.
How to do seasoning:
- In a small pan, add a tsp of oil, temper with mustard, cumin seeds, urad Dal, asafoetida and some curry leaves.
- Saute until urad turns to golden color and pour this mixture along with oil on top of the kollu thuvaiyal.

Notes
Tips: 1) Do not avoid dry roasting Horsegram as this is an important step to get the nutty flavor to the thogaiyal. 2) If you like garlic free chutney omit garlic pods. But I would recommend adding garlic for better digestion and taste and to prevent gastric trouble if any. For any kind of Dal preparation add either cumin(jeera) or asafoetida and garlic or ginger as healthy addition. 3) Make this Kollu thuvaiyal thick and coarse, if you are making for rice. 4) Instead of regular oil, use gingelly oil for extra taste.
