All of us love to have something sweet after a meal to feel completely full. It may be a piece of jaggery, laddoos, halwa, icecream or even a piece of chocolate. Let's make it a little special and complete sweet dish by making the Chettinad Kavuni Arisi sweet, as it has the benefits of Black Kavuni rice. Let's get started.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Black Kavuni Rice (Available at our Daily Kneads Store)
- 3 cups Water
- 1/2 cup Jaggery
- 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 1/2 cup Fresh grated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Ghee
STEPS TO PREPARE :
- To begin with, wash the rice and soak it by adding lots of water for around 8 hours. (A better option is to leave it overnight)
- Drain the water and add the rice to a pressure cooker and pour 3 cups of water to the rice (drained water can also be used). Cook it for 5 - 6 whistles, once the pressure seizes, open the lid of cooker.
- Add jaggery and cardamom powder to the rice. Mix and keep cooking in medium flame while mashing the mixture with a ladle.
- Add grated coconut to it and stir well to mix it all together. Cook until it becomes thick.
- Remove it from the flame and add in the ghee. Mix it well and serve warm.
Black Kavuni Rice is super healthy. The main reason for it being a superfood is the presence of anthocyanin which is a powerful antioxidant. Black rice is also rich in fibre and is a source of phytonutrients that helps in cleansing the body. This natural detoxifier also contains significant iron and protein.
