Kollu Rice Mix — The Traditional Protein Podi of Tamil Nadu
கொள்ளு — The Original Tamil Fitness Food.
Long before protein powders, Tamil Nadu had kollu. Horse gram has been the strength food of farmers and wrestlers for centuries — and the Tamil proverb about kollu's power is still quoted today. Our Kollu Rice Mix roasts this mighty lentil with black urad dal, chana dal, garlic, pepper and curry leaves into a spicy, earthy podi that turns plain rice into a protein-rich meal in seconds.
Why Kollu Deserves a Comeback
· 16.19g Plant Protein per 100g — among the highest of any traditional podi.
· The Weight-Watcher's Heritage Lentil: Kollu has a centuries-old place in Tamil tradition as the food of the lean and strong; it's naturally fibre-containing and deeply satisfying.
· Garlic-Pepper Warmth: The classic kollu pairing, traditionally served warm during rainy season and recovery days.
· Zero Cholesterol, Low Fat (4.46g/100g).
