Phannu- Today's special recipe is from Uttarakhand cuisine's garhwali recipe - Phaanu prepared using horse gram.It is also known as Gahat dal which is popular dal recipe from kumaon regions of Uttarakhand. Phaanu is very delicious, creamy, tasty and healthy dish prepared using horse gram. This is very nutritious recipe which gives lots of energy to stay fit in cool climates of hill stations.

Horse gram in telugu known as uluvalu, in Hindi it is known as kulthi dal, in Tamil it is kollu, hurali kalu in Kannada. Ulava charu is popular recipe that is prepared in Andhra. This is very simple recipe and can also prepare easily. We have to soak horse gram overnight or 8 - 10 hrs, later we grind it and prepare thick pancake / dosa with half batter and remaining we use it for gravy, isn't it easy ;) . I felt it as pesarattu mukkala pulusu with some variations. We can also prepare this dal with toor dal, green moong dal too.
