To make your Kolu festival special, you can easily prepare three unique prasadams at home: Horse Gram – Oats Sundal, Sweet Makhana Prasadam, and Black Urad Dal Jaggery Sundal.
First, soak horse gram for 8 to 12 hours and pressure cook it well. Heat oil, temper with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves, then mix in the boiled horse gram, salt, and pepper powder. Separately cook oats with a little water for 2 to 3 minutes, add it to the horse gram along with grated coconut, and mix well.
