Kulith Saar is a lip-smacking liquid gravy, which is of a consistency somewhat between dal and rasam. Well-soaked and cooked horsegram is tempered with everyday ingredients like red chillies and curry leaves to make an aromatic and flavourful dish.

This easy-to-make Horsegram Liquid Gravy can be enjoyed mixed with rice (like rasam) or as a soup . It is quite satiating, so you can even have it innovatively as a snack between meals, especially on cold, winter days when your tongue is eager to enjoy something hot and spicy.
