kavuni arisi sweet /chettinad black rice sweet

Intense purplish hue of this forbidden rice makes its a unique variety and not only that the nutritional value is at its peak than any other grain. Why its called forbidden rice I really don’t know but its intense iron rich property makes it more valuable. This kavuni arisi is gummy by nature and I love the bite of this grain even if its well cooked. Here in my blog I have already done with Kavuni arisi payasam and kavuni arisi idli. Now its time to make most popular dish of chetinad the kavuni arisi sweet. Its very

simple to make and also very delicious. Definitely should soak the rice well in advance if you are in shortage of time also have to soak it at least for 2-3 hours in hot water. Other than that this kavuni arisi sweet is very easy to make believe me. Many use sugar for making this sweet but I prefer making it with jaggery or palm jaggery for more rounded and subtle taste. Adding ghee brings in all the aroma and flavour. Adding more coconut is our wish you can increase or decrease. Do try this special chettinad sweet this festive season for sure.
