UlluthamParuppu Sadham

As requested by Shankari, our new visitor and a fellow Nellaiite, here is another one of my favourite recipe.

For the rice:

Black Urad dal -- 1/2 cup (Urad dal with its skin still on)
Rice -- 1/2 cup
Garlic cloves -- 6/8
Grated Coconut-- 1/4 cup
Salt


For the chutney:

Black sesame seeds --1/4 cup
Red chillies -- 4*(use accord to your limit)
Coconut pieces -- 5
Salt

• Wash rice and dal together, add the garlic cloves and salt and cook it in your pressure cooker.
• Once the rice is done, add the grated coconut, mis well and set aside.
• In a hot kadai, dry sautee the chillies, sesame seeds and coconut till the aroma fills your entire kitchen. Take care not to burn them.
• Grind them all together with salt. Chutney ready!

Now for the first round, take the rice in your plate, drizzle 1 tsp of gingelly oil(Idhayam Nallennai :p), add the chutney, mix it well and eat with whatever side dish you cooked that day and some koozh vathal/appalam.

Normally we don't cook plain rice along with this. One just adds curd to the ullutham paruppu sadham and eats :) And yeah without the garlic, it doesn't really taste that good.
