Ulunthu/Urad dhall Kali

     Ulunthu Kali, the best healthy sweet specially for girls/women which is recommended during puberty days. Its my long time wish to taste it once but never tasted. After many years, yesterday it tickled my taste buds so decided to prepare it at home as the ingredients are very basic which is all time available in every houses. Without further delay here come my tried and tasted (finally) dish for your review.

ALL YOU NEED:

Urad Dhall	3/4 cup
Raw Rice	2 tblsp
Gingelly Oil	1/4 cup
Jaggery	2 cups
Cardamon	2 Nos.

METHOD:
     Dry roast urad dhall in a pan until the aroma comes. Transfer it into a bowl. Add rice and dry roast for 3 mins. Let both cool for some time. Meantime, heat 3/4 cup of water in the pan, add 2 cardamon, when the water starts to boil, add 2 cups of jaggery powder. Let it boil until the jaggery dissolves in the water completely. Switch off the flame once done. Once the dry mixture is cool down, make it as fine powder in the mixie.

Add the powder in a nonstick pan, add 2 cups of water, mix it with powder without any lumps. Once done, place the pan in the stove and pour the jaggery syrup. Keep stirring in medium, make sure there are no lumps. Add 1/4 cup of gingelly oil, keep stirring until it leaves the sides of the pan. Add the remaining oil and give a quick stir as a final touch. Transfer it to the bowl and taste it.

Note: If you dont like the smell of gingelly oil, try adding ghee. I used only gingelly oil and didn't tried with ghee.
