Notes

  1. Traditionally black split urad dal is used for Tirunelveli style ulundhu choru. You can try ulundhorai with white urad dal
  2. crush black urad dal, it helps with proper cooking. You can use store-bought split urad dal instead of crushing. Avoid making fine powder. You can also pulse in mixie Avoid grinding
  3. soaking rice+dal helps for better even cooking. I used sona masoori rice hence soaked it for 30 mins. Adjust the time according to the rice you use
  4. you can use any rice of your choice but adjust the water accordingly
  5. Instant pot Ulundhu soru, cook in rice mode and do natural pressure release
  6. Traditionally black urad rice is prepared with just these ingredients. You can use any spice/ masala powder of your choice to make it suit your taste bud
