Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 5-10 mins
Servings: 6-7
Ingredients:
1 cup Kerala boiled matta rice
3 tbsp Jaggery powder
1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
1 tbsp grated coconut
1 tsp Black sesame seeds
Raisins and cashews
Directions:
Dry roast the Kerala boiled matta rice on low flame until it becomes light brown and crispy (no oil needed).
Grind it to a coarse powder using a blender.
In another pan, take 1/4 cup water. Add 3 tbsp jaggery powder
Allow the jaggery to melt. Keep stirring until you get a string-like consistency. This means that when you place a drop on your index finger and press down with your thumb, it will form a single string when you lift your thumb.
Add 1/4 tsp cardamom powder.
Add 1 tbsp grated coconut.
Now add the powdered rice.
Mix well.
Add 1 tsp black sesame seeds.
Add raisins and cashews.
Mix well and transfer to a bowl.
Make the ladoos while the mixture is still warm.
The ariyunda will harden as it cools.
Store in an air-tight container.
