sesame seed rice /ellu podi sadam
sesame seed rice /ellu podi sadam
My fondness for sesame seed/ellu all started when tasting ellu urandai/ladoo Each bite with crunch and nuttiness that one can never stop with having just one.The temple term for this sesame seed rice /ellu podi sadam is “Ellorai” served as prasadam at most of lord perumal temple’s.I have never made this one before in my lifetime.But it was just a try to make a different kind of variety rice from the usual.One of our family well-wisher had framed a cookbook from his own collections.Have printed only limited copies and particularly not for sale.He had compiled it for his own record and interest in cooking.
From this book I have tried few of his recipes and it has turned out perfectly good.Now this sesame seed rice /ellu podi sadam too was a try from his book and followed his way of making.It turned out to be a different kind of variety rice with nuttiness from dals and seeds filled with flavours.Instead of black sesame seeds you can use white!I have used this black variety because it has more nutritional strength and taste than the white ones.You can simply roast sesame and chillies alone and grind it.The other items like mustard and dals can be seasoned and added as such to rice.In this you can keep the powdered ellu for longer days and make this rice whenever needed.
