As a
parent and mom of two kids I am always on the lookout of healthy and tasty food
that can be made easily without any hassles. This Ullundhu paal/Urad dal
payasam is one such recipe I came across in Vikatan long time ago. Ullundhu
Paal is a special, traditional and authentic health drink prepared in
Thirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. It is a very healthy drink, prepared with milk and
palm sugar. This Ullundhu pal is a must for girls and growing children as
energy booster and helps in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Do check out urad dal kali/urad dal halwa, yet another urad dal dish made especially for girls. A short note
about the panam/panang kalakandu which is used in preparing this milk. Panang
kalkandu is a kind of rock sugar made from panam pathaneer[Palm tree] which is
extracted from the flower of palmera tree. It is loaded with medicinal value,
reduces the body heat, cures cough, cures gastric problems and is rich in
minerals like magnesium, chromium and iron. Try this authentic and traditional health
drink of Tamil Nadu and you will surely love it. Check out other Payasam Varieties here.
