Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

AKKARA ADISIL (AKKARAVADISAL) is an Authentic Iyengar recipe. Akkara Adisil is usually prepared on the "Koodaravalli day" which comes on 27th day of the Margazhi month and offered to the Lord Vishnu. Also, for Panguni Uthram, this is a main Prasadam in Srirangam Temple. Akkara Adisil usually offered as a prasadham in the temples which has an unique taste. We make sakarai pongal for many festivals. The procedure is much similar to sakarai pongal, but the main variation is the richness with milk and ghee.  We cook the rice and dal in the milk and cook them again with jaggery and sugar. Finally enrich the dish with ghee and you will have all the rich and cream Akkaravadisal ready for neivedhyam or serving!

Tips for making Akkaravadisal:

  1. Usually we make akkaravadisal for festivals and auspicious occasions. So use white rice for the prasad.
  2. Tha ratio of rice+dal to water/milk is more for Akkaravadisal. We need to rice and dal to be cooked thoroughly and mushy.
  3. Allow the rice and dal to pressure cook for 5-6 whistles. Allow the pressure to naturally release.
  4. Be generous in milk and ghee thats the secret of getting authentic Akkaravadisal.
  5. We can boil and melt the jaggery and add the strained jaggery juice to the cooked rice and moong dal mixture.
  6. After adding sugar and jaggery, keep the flame low and cook the akkaravadisal. Do not over boil the mixture.
