Vella Sadam is a sweet rice made with cooked rice, jaggery, ghee, cardamom, cashews and coconut. We usually prepare this Vella sadam on Aadi perukku festival where we prepare all variety rices like Coconut rice, lemon rice, tamarind rice, curd rice. This is much different from Sakkara Pongal we prepare for many festivals and auspicious occasions. Not only for Aadi Perukku festival, even for regular days we can prepare this delicious jaggery rice as a prasad /offering or just serving as a dessert.

How Vella Sadam is different from Sakkara Pongal:

  • We use moong dal for Sakkara pongal but for vella sadam we just use rice and jaggery.
  • Sometimes to get a rich flavor of sakkara pongal, we cook the rice with milk but we just need water to cook rice for vella sadam.
  • Also the addition of roasted coconut is a unique differentiator which really gives a nice flavor to the rice.
  • The consumption of ghee is less in vella sadam.
  • Also for vella sadam, the rice is cooked till fluffy, we don’t need to mash it.

Tips for making Vella Sadam:

  1. Add 1/2-1/4 cup less water for cooking rice than we usually add for rice. I usually add 2.5 cups of water for 1 cup rice. But for this recipe, I have reduced 1/4 cup.
  2. Pressure cook for 2-3 whistles or 1 whistles less than your regular cooking. We need fluffy cooked rice like we make for Lemon rice or tomato rice.
  3. Spread the cooked rice to cool down completely to make sure they are not getting mushy when mixed.
  4. Melt the jaggery and strain to make sure there are no sand or dust.
  5. Cook the jaggery juice in ghee to get more flavor.
