Kollu Rasam Recipe is a wholesome recipe of rasam made from horse gram. It is rich in taste and at the same time rich in protein and iron apart and has high antioxidant capacities along with hemagglutinin which is a substance found in antibodies and autoimmune functions.

In the traditional recipe only a small amount of kollu/ horse gram is used to make the rasam, but i personally like to add the entire horse gram and make it a wholesome rasam.

Serve Kollu Rasam along with Steamed Rice and Chena Vazhakkai Erissery and Elai Vadam for a weekday meal.
