A tangy and delicious curry made with horse gram, this Andhra delicacy is a very healthy and a lesser known dish. Its amazing for weight loss and maintenance as horse gram is rich in fiber and protein. Note that it needs to be consumed in small quantities (very hard to do but have toš) as its not easy to digest. This dish is great for meal prep as it taste better as days go by ( 3-4 days in refrigerator).
