This is
a very simple South Indian Style Thakkali sadam, which can be made very fast
and quick. In South India during valaikappu or baby shower usually it is a
tradition to make 5, 7, or 9 different types of variety rice, and thakkali
sadam also plays one major role in it. I am planning to post all the different
types of rice varieties in the future one by one. Thakkali sadam is not only made during valaikappu but also is a perfect lunch box meal. For now…
Here’s
the Thakkali sadam with step by step photos…

Method
Wash the
rice and pressure cook it with salt, 1 tsp of oil and keep it separately. If you are using
basmati rice add 3 cups of water and for raw rice 5 cups of water. After the
steam releases transfer it to a plate, spread it and let it cool.
In a
kadai heat oil & ghee together, splutter the mustard seeds. Add the cumin
seeds, urad dal, channa dal, curry leaves and sauté until the dals turn golden
brown color.
Now add
onions, green chillies, garlic and sauté until the onions turn golden brown
color. Add the tomatoes and sauté until they turn mushy.
Add the sambar powder,
turmeric powder, salt and mix really well. Sprinkle some water and let it cook
until all the raw smell goes of f and oil separates out. Switch off the stove.
Now add
the cooked rice and mix gently until the tomato masala is evenly spread.
Finally garnish with coriander leaves and serve it hot with raita.
Delicious
and perfect lunch box meal is ready to be enjoyed.
