There's a saying in tamil "Elachavanukku Ellu, Koluthavanukku Kollu", which means those who want to become fat should eat Sesame seeds and those to want to become lean should eat kollu/horse gram..This is really a tasty dal, which also strengthen the bones of children..Whenever we make this dal, we make kollu rasam also..will post that recipe soon..Can't take this dal daily, since it produces heat in body..I prepare it once in two weeks atleast..mostly on saturdays( don't know why, but my mom make it on those days).. With sesame oil, it tastes so divine...Do try and stay healthy...
