#Horsegram #Rasam : Horsegram is known as kollu in Tamil. The scientific name is Microtyloma uniflorum.
Horse gram gives protein, nearly one fourth of its weight. It is also rich in minerals like iron, calcium, potassium and molybdenum.
This also cures kidney or gall bladder stones if detected at a very early stage and surgical intervention can be avoided.
Kollu as it is called in Tamil is an excellent remedy for common cold. Kollu rasam is recommended to ward off cold which is prepared along with pepper which again controls cold.
