As soon as I thought of posting this recipe, lots of flashback came into mind. My mom use to cook arisi paruppu sadham for both of us (me and my mom) If my dad is out of town. She adds lot of garlic than in this recipe and makes it mushy. We both use to chit chat and have it very hot with pickle and appalam. awesome times!

Not only this but i remember my childhood neighbour “kannama akka” – thats how my mom use to call her. She is so nice and prepares this very often. she calls this paruppu sadham, one of her default menu 2-3 times a week.

there are some tips here –

  • Unlike other khichdis, tomatoes should not be fried till mushy
  • onions and tomatoes must be roughly chopped not finely
  • peppercorns, green chilli and red chilli together in equal proportion in spice level makes this rice super tasty.
  • Add a dash of ghee while serving
  • use more garlic if you love garlic flavor in between and dont fry any of these too mush.

My In laws use to make a slightly different one. they use to roughly grind spicesand garlic(with skin) to coarse powder and make this rice which is totally a different flavor. May be thats erode style arisi paruppu sadham, I will try to post it very soon.

  • Wash rice and dal in running water and keep it ready. Generally we use to soak the rice and dal before cooking. But it is optional. For busy morning cooking, we will not be able to soak the rice and dal. So at least wash them first and soak in water until use. after adding rice and dal, add turmeric powder.

  • add water. 3.5 cups to 4 cups of water is required. depending upon the rice and dal quality this measurement may vary. Sometimes to make it mushy, we add even 5 cups water. so 3.5 cups for 1 cup rice is normal to get withered not sticky rice. adjust more based on your preference.

  • add salt to taste. taste the water and it has to be slightly salty.
