Healthy n Spicy Uraddal Porridge (Ulundu kaara kanji)

I have already posted the sweet version of Uraddal Porridge. This recipe is a spicy version made of black skinned splitted uraddal which has more nutritional benefits.

Cooking time: 10 mins

Serving: 2

Ingredients:

Rice - 1/2 cup
Black uraddal - 2 tbsn
Cumin seeds - 1 tspn
Pepper powder - 1 tspn (coarsely grounded)
Buttermilk - 2 cups
Curry leaves - few
Sesame oil - 2 tspn
Salt to taste

Method:

1. Grab all the ingredients.

2. Dry roast uraddal and rice in a kadaai separately until it changes it's colour.

3. Grind both dal and rice together in a mixer jar into a fine powder.

4. Take 1/2 cup of powder in a pan. Add 2 1/2 cups of water. Switch on.

5. Cook for about 5-7 mins. It comes to a thick porridge consistency. Switch off.

6. Heat a pan. Add oil, cumin seeds, pepper powder, curry leaves. Add this to the porridge mixture.

7. Once it cools down add buttermilk (forgot to take the picture in ingredients list) and salt. Enjoy the spicy porridge with any thogayal or pickle you like.

Notes:

You can use whole black uraddal instead of splitted ones.
This powder measurement can be used twice like the above.
