BLACK URAD DAL RICE
Rice is a staple food and being a South Indian I do make a lot of rice varieties at home.I also pack them for lunch with any accompaniment such as raita or a curry.I was going through an old cookbook which had this recipe of Black Urad Dal Rice.In Tamil it is called Karuppu Ulundu and has innumerable health benefits.I have one Black Urad Dal tadka and it turned out be delicious as well.As far this rice goes,it is an easy to make recipe and if you have made this powder already,the rest is a breeze.
I have a variety of lunch box recipes in my blog.This one is a healthy addition to that list.I have learnt that black lentil has the richest source of proteins and vitamin B.The skin of this dal when removed is used extensively in the culinary preparations os papad,idlis,dosas and of course vadas.It is also used as an important tempering ingredient.It is also known to boost heart health and helps in anti-aging.But the skin is very nutritious and gives a smooth texture to the dish it is made in to.See down below the quickest of all recipes,Black Urad Dal rice.
