Notes

  • Kavuni Arisi - This rice takes longer to cook so soaking is must. You can even soak overnight. If you want it more soft and mushy cook for 10 whistles.
  • Measures - Usually the measure of all the 3 ingredients is the same like if we take 1 cup kavuni rice then its 1 cup sugar and 1 cup coconut which is the measure my aunt gave. But I usually reduce it as its too much of sweet taste for us.
  • Cooking time - The cooking time varies according to the variety of kavuni rice used. As this rice is tough it takes longer than regular rice to cook.
  • Texture - The texture of this sweet is sticky and moist not too dry so cook accordingly. It is chewy and has a slight crunch.
