Flattened Rice – ½ padi
Pure Water – ½ padi
Jaggery – 10 palam
Milk – ¼ padi
Cardamom/Elaichi – ¼ r.e
Fried Cashewnuts – 3 palam
Saffron – ¼ r.e
Method:
1. Pound the flattened rice. Boil pure water in a vessel and add jaggery or brown sugar. Put the flattened rice in this and mix well. Close it with a lid. Keep this for 2 or 3 minutes.
2. Then add milk and stir well. Put elaichi/cardamom powder , fried cashew nuts one by one and stir again. Keep it on slow fire for some time and set aside. Saffron dissolved in milk can be added if required.
