Kollu Gravy
Horse gram or kollu is a food given to horses, mainly because, it controls the weight and gives energy
for the horses to win the race.
That is why it is very good for reducing weight , especially for women. But it will make the body hot . So, you can use it once a week, it will make no harm. so, I thought to share this recipe with everybody.
