Notes
- Soaking rice and dal helps in cooking them soft and faster.
- You can serve it with any vadams or any poriyal/varuval you prefer. I love it with plain curd and vadam.
- Arisi Paruppu Sadam should be slightly moist and mushy not too dry.
- It is recommended to serve it hot as the rice will become dry soon. Add ghee while serving.
- If you don't have sambar powder then add 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder.
- Give at least 5-10 minutes resting time before serving.
- Do not cook in high flame.
- Make sure to cook in medium flame and add required amount of water to avoid burning at the bottom.
- If you are looking for vegan option skip ghee and add oil itself.
