Ellu Sadam Recipe
During navaratri days, amma makes variety rice on each day and this recipe is one of them. I love the flavour of this rice, since it has peanuts they taste awesome. I used black sesame seed in the rice, so the colour is so black but you could use white.
Hope you will try it and let me know how it turned out.
