Vellam Sadam | Inipu Thengai Sadam | Vellam sadam recipe | Inipu sadam | sweet coconut rice | jaggery rice | sweet coconut sadham with step by step pictures and video recipe. Check out the inipu Thengai sadam recipe and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel


Vellam Sadam | Inipu Thengai Sadam | Vellam sadam recipe | Inipu sadam | sweet coconut rice is a traditional South Indian variety rice prepared during festive days. Coconut gives nice flavour to the sadam.

Festive foods are always special. Velllam sadam is one of my favorite festival special. Vellam sadam is prepared during Aadi perukku and sometimes during mattu Pongal and Chitra pournami.

My Amma either prepares Sakkarai pongal or Vella sadam, along with Pulikaichal, Coconut rice , bagala bath and Aviyal.  As soon as I return from school among all the variety rice  my sweet tooth craves  for vellam sadam.

Though it is prepared with rice and jaggery. Vella sadam tastes so different from sakkarai pongal. Coconut gives a nice flavour to the rice. Vellam sadam can be made vegan by skipping ghee and using coconut oil. I love sweets with ghee flavors so I couldn’t do that.

This is one of the tastiest and easy sweet that can be prepared in no time. For festive days I cook rice and prepared vella sadam but this can also be repaired with leftover rice.

For kids after school snacks this is one of the healthiest and easiest variety rice  that can be prepared within 15 minutes.

Notes

  1. If jaggery you are using are without any impurities can skip Filtering the jaggery syrup
  2. Adjust jaggery according to your sweetness
  3. I used sona masoori rice so I cooked  1:3 ratio rice and water. If you prefer mushy rice adjust water accordingly
  4. My vellam sadam  was not mushy
  5. Add cardamom pods instead of cardamom powder 
  6. Edible camphor can be added for extra flavour

    I think it looks and sounds great – I would try it with the cashews instead of almonds, as you suggest 🙂
