KOLLU SEMIA BATH
Kollu ( Tamil ) or Hurali ( Kannada ) is one of the most nutritious legumes and is the richest source of plant protein. It is also a good source of energy because of its heat generating property. In this era of advancing technology we do not need super power to go about our normal day to day activities. But people who take up intense physical activities like sports , dancing , trekking etc will need immense Human Power to pursue their endeavours. Kollu/ Hurali ( Horse gram) is a super food that builds and strengthens muscles and also generates the heat to boost Human Power. A Rasam/ Saaru prepared using sprouted Kollu / Hurali is a popular soup usually prepared during winter.
