Ullundhu Kali Recipe/Urad Dal Halwa Recipe/ How to make Ullundhu Kali with step by step photos & Video in both English & Tamil
Ullundhu
Kali is an
authentic and traditional dish of South India – Tamil Nadu. I am really sure
all the girls from Tamil Nadu must be very very familiar with this ullundhu
kali. The reason I say it is because this ullundhu
kali is given to girls when they attain puberty and throughout their teen age.
Ullundhu kali is a must during this time because it strengthens the pelvic bone
of the young girls and helps in strengthening the back. This dish is totally
amazing it involves only three ingredients but loaded with proteins (urad dal),
Iron & minerals (Jaggery) and vitamin E & Omega 6 (Gingelly oil). Even
now the tradition of giving raw eggs and gingelly oil as a first thing in the
morning for the first few days for the young girls during their first menstruation
cycle continues in many families. They are considered to be very nutritious for
the girls as they strengthen the uterus and prepare them for healthy child
bearing later on in their adulthood. I still remember those days when I used to
cry to eat the raw eggs so my grandma used to give boiled eggs, but I love gingelly oil.
Now coming back to Ullundhu kali, it must be made only with gingelly oil. Gingelly oil/Nalla ennai is a cold pressed oil derived from sesame seeds and has numerous health benefits. Cold pressed oils are produced through a combination of grinding and low heat without any addition of chemicals. Ongoing research also indicates that the rich presence of antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats could help to control blood pressure [source:Wikipedia]. Gingelly oil is called as “Nalla ennai” meaning “Good Oil” , so friends try to incorporate it in cooking as much as possible.

Paal Kozhukattai with Vellam/Sweet Rice Dumplings with Jaggery – Vinayagar Chathurthi Special
Wishing
all friends and readers “A Very Happy 67th Independence Day”. On
this special day I am sharing with you Paal Kozhukattai a traditional South Indian Sweet…
Vinayagar
Chathurthi/Ganesha Chathurthi is the birthday of Lord Ganesha celebrated all
over India and many other parts of the world by Hindus. On this auspicious day,
delectable neivadyams are made for Ganesha and special poojas are performed as
a mark of celebration. Kozhukattai is a very special dish prepared for
Vinayagar Chathurthi. But there are different types of kozhukattai’s like the
modhagams, Kaara Kozhukattai, sweet kozhukattai etc. Paal Kozhukattai is one
among them, which is nothing but small rice dumplings cooked in coconut milk
along with either jaggery or white sugar. I always prefer to make it with
jaggery/vellam as it is healthier than the white sugar.
Here’s
how to make Paal Kozhukattai with step by step photos…

Sweet Pidi Kozhukattai/Rice Dumplings with Jaggery for Amman/Ganesha Chathurthi
Hello
Friends,
“Aadi”
is a very special and auspicious month in Tamil calendar, when special poojas
are done for Amman. Special neivedhanams are done for Amman like sweet pongal
and beautiful decorations done and special poojas conducted throughout the month. During
the month of Aadi, the tradition of making Kezhvaragu Koozh for Amman and
distributing to everybody is very famous in Tamil Nadu. Since my parents are
from Thanjavore, the tradition goes by making rice kanji, paanagam, neer mor,
maavilakku, drumstick leaves poriyal and offering special prayers to Amman and then distributing them to everybody.
But in
my MIL's house the tradition goes by making Kezhvaragu Koozh, pidi kozhukattai,
mochai kottai kara kuzhambu with karuvadu, drumstick leaves poriyal, thullu
maavu and offered to Amman as neivedhyam. We do special prayers and then
distribute to everybody. Usually the Kezhvaragu Koozh and
rice kanji are all prepared in large scale and distribute to atleast 30 to 50 people or even
more.
As this
is the month of “Aadi” and tomorrow
being Friday I thought I will share this
pidi kozhukattai with all of you and also this is special request from one of
my readers Deepa. Not just for neivedhyam you can make this healthy and
delicious pidi kozhukattai for your kids as evening snacks. So what are guys
waiting for, enjoy…
