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.
