Kavuni arisi Sakkarai Pongal – Karuppu kavuni arisi sakkarai pongal – Traditional South Indian sakkarai pongal made using black rice with step by step pictures and short video

Karuppu kavuni arisi is known for its health benefits. It has a unique purplish hue and is very rich in nutrition. We usually make sakkarai pongal using raw rice or sometimes with millet, samba wheat, or aval. I have posted Kavuni Arisi Curd Rice recipe on my Instagram page and YouTube channel.

Kavuni arisi is usually soaked overnight before cooking, as it has a hard texture. But in this recipe we are pulsing the rice into kurunai and cooking it immediately. The rice gets cooked in this way, without soaking. This recipe is similar to the popular Chettinad Kavuni arisi sweet.

I have posted a recipe for kavuni arisi payasam, and I even made it for a big group of guests a few months back. It was a huge hit among the guests. It is long overdue to post karuppu kavuni arisi dosai and appam on jeyashris kitchen. Do try this Karuppu kavuni arisi sakkarai pongal for neivedyam and let me know how it turned out.
