With cooked rice, flavorful rice can be prepared within 10 minutes.  Authentic south Indian flavors. It is popularly known as kudai milaga sadham in Tamil. masala powder gives amazing flavor to the rice

    CAN I USE LEFTOVER RICE FOR capsicum VARIETY RICE?

    yes, it is one perfect way to finish leftover rice/ cold rice. If you are using leftover rice make sure you keep the rice at room temperature for some time. Warm the rice, spread the rice on a plate then use it. 

    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
