Recipe for Chettinad Kavuni Arisi sweet made with black glutinous rice. Very popular chettinad recipe. With step by step pictures.

Chettinad Kavuni Arisi

Kavuni arisi is very new to make. But i have seen many recipes all over the internet using kavuni arisi. So i bought a pack of it. First I used that to make dosa, but it turned out to be a failure. I didn't knew that kavuni arisi is sticky and high in glutinous. So when i tried making dosa the dosa turned very sticky and a horrible mess. Later i had to add lots of rice flour to it, to finish the batter.

Then i used to remaining rice to make this sweet which is a traditional chettinad sweet recipe. The sweet was super hit, i was surprised how easy the sweet is to make. Kavuni arisi takes lots of time to cook, so i soak them in advance at least 6 hours before or overnight.

Kavuni arisi is super healthy. The key reason for its superfood status is the presence of anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant. Black rice is also rich in fibre and is a source of phytonutrients that cleanse the body. This natural detoxifier also contains significant iron and protein.
