FLUFFY RICE

If you are making Kalandha sadham with freshly cooked rice make sure you spread the rice on a plate till the steam goes off. I generally add a few drops of oil while cooking rice as it helps fluffy rice. You can also add sesame oil while cooling the rice.

WHAT KIND OF RICE SHOULD I USE?

I generally use basmati rice. You can also use Sona masoori rice/ raw rice / brown rice/hand point rice/millet. Cook the rice well but not mushy. Avoid al dente cooking for better digestion.

WHAT TASTES BEST WITH kuda milaga SADAM?

Rice tastes best with varuval variety,curd based kuzhambu, kootu varietycurd based recipes, pickle varieties, vadam varieties, savory bakshanam, masala vada or pakoda

Podi for Rice

Freshly ground powder gives amazing flavor. Instead you use Sundal podi. Adjust according to your taste. You can also use curry powder instead

Can I skip the ghee

Ghee is optional but gives amazing flavor so I would highly recommend
