Recipe for thoaran with Kollu and Plantain stem:
Clean and cook a cup of horse-gram in pressure cooker with enough water. Drain off the excess water and keep aside.
Chop banana-stem (the white smooth pith of the banana plant) into small pieces to make a cupful and cook with salt and enough water until the water is drained and it is cooked enough.
In a dry kadaai pour three/four teaspoons of oil and when heated add in mustard seeds. When they splutter add in split dried-red-chillies, 4 or 5 numbers, and curry leaves. Add in both the cooked banana stem and cooked horse gram and stir well. You can garnish with grated coconut before serving.
As horse-gram is considered hot for the body and banana-stem as cold the combination is good for the body.

My mom used make Kollum Rasam for severe colds.
Rasam can be with remaining boiled kollu water without adding tamarind. It would control cold within a day.

Manchester. USA.
What you name as "KOLLU-PARUPPU" is not "Paruppu" at all. It is called KOLLUPPAYARU"in Tamil and "Horsegram" in English, which the Indian Store Managers in North America are able to understand.Most of these Stores sell it as a set of NAVADHAANYAAS, for Navagraha Poojas.For the current year Navarathri, many Indians here bought it as a set of 9 seeds. It is available in the leading "INDIAN GROCERY STORES" all over this country, North America. In California, you can try at the "Mail-Bag Indian Stores" at SAN JOSE.

KOLLU PORIYAL:
Soak Kollu for 8 hrs.Pressure cook it.Remove excess water.In the mixie put and grind(means in the pulse mode).In a kadai season it and add onion.green chillies.saute it then add ground kollu.add salt and coconut flakes to taste.

Hi I learnt that if fenugreek is left overnight in half litre of Kulthi water, and that water is drank 3 times a day for 15 days, it will bring high blood pressure down.
My wife has such high blood pressure and no one can figure out why. I read an article by Sree Chakravarthee and this was how we can bring down the blood pressure - naturally.
My question is how do we make Kulthi water? Anybody knows? Do we boile kollup parupu? Do we put it in a pressure cooker?
Please send reply to this website as well as e_dantes@cox.net. Appreciate it very much.

Boil horse gram in water with a lot of asafoetida for 10mins. Filter and drink 1 glass of the water everyday to regularise the mensturation cyle.

Pooja, here is the recipe for Kalathu podi, which can be mixed with hot rice and ghee and consumed with papad.
Kollu 1 cup
Thoor dal 1 cup
Channa dal (Kadalai Paruppu) 1/2 cup
Urad dal (full or broken) 1/2 cup
Fry each of the above dal seperately in a kadai till golden brown WITHOUT oil.
Grind all till smooth powder.
Fry little chilli powder and salt together, say 2 tsps, WITHOUT oil.
Mix together with the smooth powder and serve with rice.

Hemakk.. as far as i know Whole masoor is not kollu payar/paruppu.
both look like similar but kollu is darker in colour than whole masoor(think shapewise also they little bit differ).Initially i too thought/bought whole masoor as kollu then got cleared by my friend.Hope this helps you!

Anjana,
There is no need to soak it in water, just boil with heeng for 10mins filter and drink, but let me tell u it tastes horrible, and due to the heeng i experienced cramps in my stomach since it takes out a lot of gas. Give it a try, it takes time to give the required results though.

Hi Hemakk,
Sorry for my late response!I believe above said two of them are not kollu payar(horse gram).
Search in indian stores for horse gram.you can ask the store manager for it(in hindi it called as KULTHI).So for i saw 2 brand names one is SAKTHI and another one is SWAD or NIRAV(i wil make sure next time i go to the store).Good luck!!
