A health drink..Uluntham Paal/Urad dhal milk

Two days back my younger daughter came up with a note from the school asking for an authentic recipe which should be the kid's favourite dish too..I just gave a list to yazhini and asked her which was her best and she picked up this ulunthu paal..I thought I had posted the recipe in my blog so that I could download it from the blog and sent it to her school..but....After scanning the pages I found I had missed posting the dish which we make very often at home.With no wait I edited the pictures and started posting it...

 

Urad Dhal is a popular and healthier legume in India..It is being used in variety of dishes and the one I had posted is apt for a morning healthy drink.In this hurry burry life kids try to skip their morning breakfast which is a very bad practise..So during that time I make this Urad Dhal Paal/milk and give them which gives them the energy and strength to start the day well..

 

So make this easy,authentic,healthy drink and relish ur taste buds..

• Kesari milk masala is optional.
• Dry roast the urad dhal nicely till the raw smell goes off.Or else the taste will not be good.
