    Ulundu Sadam was first introduced to this rice from my friend Aarthi. She often makes this rice with thogayal for lunch and whenever I heat this I wanted to try it. This is popularly called as Ulunudu soru. This combo of ulundu sadam with thogayal is one of the most comforting and healthy one that I always wanted to try. Black urad dal is very good for stengthening bones so I always make Kali atleast twice a month. This rice is very good for young girls who attain puberty

    This combo is the best so don’t skip thogayal while making this rice. This rice is meant to be slightly mushy not grain seperated so water should to be added accordingly as she had mentioned. Also surprisingly idli rice is used for making of this rice not our regular ponni rice. The taste of rice dal combo with the tempering, a hint of sweetness and flavour from palm jaggery tastes best. I loved it so much and am sure to include this often.
