Table of Content
A mildly-sweet thick porridge that just slides down your throat, leaving a warm and comforting feeling. This is a traditional recipe from rural Tamil Nadu, and is believed to strength the bones.
It is given regularly to young girls and pregnant women as they require a good dose of iron and protein , but it is also good for everyone else so the whole family enjoys it.
While this recipe can be made as a loose porridge or as a thick one, kali traditionally means a thick porridge of an halwa-like consistency, so it is best made like that.
Despite the intense taste and rich aroma of this porridge, it uses very little oil and no coconut. It is good to have as a snack any time of the day, and a wonderful way to harness the protein and iron in urad dal .
