CHETTINAD KAVUNI ARISI RECIPE | STARTUP COOKING

Black Rice is also known as Karuppu Kavuni Rice or Emperor's rice or Karunkuruvai. In some places, it is also called as Forbidden rice and purple rice. This chettinad kavuni arisi sweet is very famous in chettinad region in Tamil Nadu. The taste of the sweet was very delicious. 

Black rice is very popular in South Asia. It contains high levels of different anthocyanin which may provide various health benefits. It is sometimes also called "longevity rice". This rice can be consumed alone as a side dish or included in salads, stir fry dishes or even desserts.

To make this delicious chettinad dessert, just wash and pressure cook the rice till mushy and mix with sugar, coconut and fried cashews. It's so simple and easy to make. The rice needs to be soaked for long time as it is hard. Though it turns soft after cooked, but the taste we get the chewy chunks of rice while eating. This dessert is great for  special occasions, festivals, pot lucks or any get-together. Follow my step by step photo recipe to prepare Chettinad Kavuni Arisi.
