Urad dhall Kheer/Uluntha paruppu kanji

 

Urad dhall is one most ingredient used almost in  everything breakfast,lunch ,snack or dessert,such a versatile ingredient.Urad dhall is very good for health especially to women and kids.

I prepared this kheer when everyone is sick with cold .I prepared it after a long time ,it was so tasty the kids too liked it.

I have added more milk to make it more like kheer you can change the proportion to suit your taste.The pepper,jeera,dry giner is used very little ,it does not give any spiciness or kick to the kheer.Use jaggery/palm sugar 1 or 2 tbsp ,dont make it too sweet,everything should be very subtle ,nothing should be overpowering.Still you can add twist to this simple kheer.
