Milagu sadam | south Indian black pepper rice is a flavorful healthy and tasty 10 minutes instant variety rice.  Good for digestion and perfect for a school lunch box.

LUNCH BOX RECIPE -pepper cumin rice

With cooked rice, flavorful rice can be prepared within 10 minutes.  Healthy rice with  Authentic south Indian flavors. Pepper rice tastes better if consumed after a few hours, which makes it perfect for the lunchbox.

Should I use mortar & pestle?

It is optional but it gives the best taste and texture to the rice. 

Pepper cumin powder

It stays good for weeks. If you prepare powder in advance, can prepare podi in no time. 

CAN I USE LEFTOVER RICE FOR pepper 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 sesame oil while cooking rice as it helps fluffy rice. You can also add sesame oil while cooling the rice too.

WHAT KIND OF RICE SHOULD I USE?

I generally use Sona masoori rice. You can also use basmati 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 milagu seeraga sadam?

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

CAN I SKIP THE GHEE

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

HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT POSTPARTUM-FRIENDLY milagu POONDU SADAM?

  • Avoid fluffy rice. Rice shouldn’t be mushy but not so dry
  • Use ghee and sesame oil for cooking
  • You can adjust pepper according to your taste but avoid red chilli
  • Avoid peanuts
