Akkaravadisal Recipe – Akkara Adisil with sugar

Akkaravadisal Recipe


Akkaravadisal is a famous Iyengar which is a slightly different take to the sweet pongal(sakkarai pongal). To me the main difference between the 2 is : For akkaravadisal(Akkara Adisal) milk quantity is more also we use sugar, the dal proportion is more when compared to sweet pongal. I have tasted perimma make the best akkaravadisal so I called her up last week ad she gave me the recipe and the tips as I was a first timer 🙂

Drizzle ghee while serving and always serve hot or warm. Reserve few nuts for garnishing while serving.

Easy Akkaravadisal Recipe

My Notes:

  • 1/2 cup of ghee is the right measurement but I wanted a little low fat version so added only 1/4 cup.
  • Always use a tall broad container to pressure cook as milk tends to boil. Also dont add the rice dal directly in the pressure cooker, the milk will boil and overflow.
  • Also make sure that milk-dal-rice mixture should only be half of the container to avoid milk boiling and overflowing while it is getting cooked.
  • It thickens with time so switch of accordingly.

    Delicious looking sweet. As far as I have heard the difference is in the proportion of milk. They used to use 16 cups of milk for 1 cup of rice to make this super rich sweet 🙂
