For Kanu (Day after Pongal), we make Kalandha saadham (Tamarind rice, coconut rice, ellu rice, curd rice,..etc.) and Avial. Of all, ellu rice is my favorite. My grandma makes the best ellu saadham and this time when my mom came, i remembered to take down the recipe from her.
Ingredients :
White til - 200 gm
Red chillies - 6
hing (perungayam) - 1 pinch
salt - as required.
Method :
Wash the til and drain it and spread it on a clean cloth or paper towel and let it dry for an hour.
Dry roast it in a pan and when it starts to crackle, add the chillies and hing and roast some more.
Add salt and turn off the heat. Let it cool and grind it.
Mix with rice and ghee/nallennai (sesame oil/gingelly oil). Tastes best with avial. On lazy/hectic days, you can just have it with papad or fryums. This ellu podi is good for nursing mothers also.
