#WS #Cooksnap# Renukabala @renubala123 Horse gram soup; good recipe renukabala. My recipe is slightly different from yours as I prepared the soup with tomatoes and spices just like Tamil nadu rasam
Easy to make spicy aromatic rasam with horse gram (Kulth or Muthira in Hindi or Kollu in Tamil) tomato and quite a few Culinary herbs from our garden. Horse gram is rich in minerals Iron, Molybdenum, Phosphorous. Calcium, ( the highest calcium content out of all other pulses)Proteins. It has a very high content of vegetarian protein.. It contains slowly digestible carbohydrates which are good for weight loss and diabetes.
Rich in Flavonoids, Anti-oxidants, and Polyphenols, high fiber content,. Vitamin B. Rasam is good digestion and immunity
