Kalkandu Sadam

Recently I made a quick and easy Kalkandu Sadam in my Ninja Foodi. I really liked it and wanted to share it with you!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup kalkandu (sugar candy)
  • 2 and 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp ghee
  • 2 tsp cashews
  • 2 tsp raisins
  • a pinch of saffron

Recipe:

  1. Wash the rice and powder the kalkandu until it forms a coarse powder
  2. Add the rice (washed), water, and 1 cup of milk to the Foodi.
  3. Cook for 5 minutes and let the pressure release naturally, then open lid and mash the rice.
  4. Set the Foodi in saute mode and add the rest of the milk, the powdered kalkandu, and the cardamom.
  5. Mix well and cook for around 3-5 minutes.
  6. In a separate pan, heat the ghee then add the cashews and raisins to fry.
  7. Add this to the Foodi and mix well.
  8. Garnish with saffron and enjoy!
