Kummayam
Ingredients:
Green Moong Dal
1/2 Cup
Urid Dal
1 tablespoon
Raw Rice
2 tablespoon
Grated Jaggery
1 Cup
Cardamom Powder
1/2 teaspoon
Ghee
3 tablespoon
Method:
Heat a pan and dry fry green moong dal till it turns slight brown in color. Take the fried green moong to the mixer. Then add the urid dal to the pan and dry fry the urid dal till it turns slight brown. Add the urid dal to the mixer
Finally, add rice to the pan and fry the rice till they are slight brown color. Add the fried rice also to the mixer.
Allow the fried ingredients to cool off and then grind them to a nice and smooth powder. Pass the ground kummayam podi through a nice sieve and get rid of the lumps to have a smooth kummayam podi.
In a small sauce pan add grated jaggery and add water to soak the jaggery and keep it in flame and allow the jaggery to dissolve completely. When the jaggery is dissolved, switch off the flame and set the jaggery syrup aside. In a pan, add half of the ghee and add the kummayam podi and fry the podi in ghee in low flame for 3-4 minutes. You would get a nice aroma
Then add the jaggery syrup and mix everything well till the whole mixture becomes thick. Add remaining ghee and mix well and when the mixture becomes a one whole mass, then remove from flame
Kummayam is now ready to serve. We can also put the mixture in a ghee greased plate and spread it evenly with a flat spatula and then cut them into pieces and serve them
I tried out the recipe. but some thing went wrong!! I think the ratio of water went wrong. My Kummayam turned out like a soft chocolate….gummy ! where did I go wrong?
Sorry to hear. Always to get like a burfi consistency is a challenge even for more experienced chef. So please dont worry. since there is no string consistency it will come correctly so try once and share your experience
Very clear instructions.
An indicative Amount of water for this quantity of kummayam powder and jaggery would be useful
You can respond only to the email if you do wish
