Ingredients

  • 1 cup left over rice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 4 small onion chopped roughly
  • 1 green chillies chopped finely
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Soak the leftover rice in immersing level of water overnight.
  • Drain little water next day morning then add buttermilk / curd. Smash it well with a laddle.
  • Add little more water to bring it to porridge consistency.
  • Add required salt, finely chopped onion and green chillies, mix well.
  • Pour into mud pots and allow it to rest for a while. Serve it.
  • Pickle is the best combination for this else fish curry is an apt combo esp the one made the previous day 🙂

Notes

  • Let over rice is best to be used for this neeragaram. If you are using fresh rice, give some 2-3hrs resting time then soak it.
  • Actually neeragaram is just water and rice but we can add buttermilk/curd to enhance the taste.
  • Mud pots are natural coolant so serving in it gives a cool feeling.
  • You can also add coriander, curry leaves to garnish and for extra flavour.
  • I removed the seeds almost fully in green chillies to avoid the spice level in it.
  • No need to refrigerate it.
