Kollu thuvayal or kollu paruppu is my mil's signature recipe. She prepared this last week and I clicked the snaps. This kollu thuvayal can be eaten by mixing with rice and ghee or oil. With the kollu water, I prepared the kollu rasam which I already posted. There are so many health benefits of kollu and it is very useful in weight loss. Also I already Kollu rasam and Kollu sundal. My MIL says there is another version also in this, which we will see later.  Now we will see this simple version kollu thuvayal.
