Ellu sadam is a very simple rice recipe that we generally do during the Saturdays of the Tamil month Puratasi. Today being Puratasi Saturday, I wanted to share the recipe of ellu sadam today. We can use white or black sesame seeds for making this recipe. You can pack this for a lunch box too on a normal day. Apart from making this for Purasani Saturday neivedyam, you can make this for Navaratri Saturday too. Also check out, kadugu sadam, kopparai sadam, kothamalli sadam recipe.
METHOD: Roast the sesame seeds till golden brown. Keep this aside.
Roast the urad dal and red chili till the dal becomes a nice golden brown. Do this on a low flame.
When it is cool, grind it into a fine powder along with the roasted sesame seeds and asafoetida.
Mix this into the cooled-down cooked rice. Add 2 tsp of sesame oil to this.
. Add sesame oil and a few curry leaves and mix well.
Ellu sadam is ready for neivedyam now.
Note:
Always ensure that the rice should be cooked properly and not mashed. You can roast 1 tbsp of peanuts in little oil and add it to the rice. If you feel the sesame seeds are bit dirt, wash this nicely and drain the water, and dry them in a cloth. when it is dry, roast this and follow the procedure above. You can make Ellu sadam with black sesame seeds.
