Kanyakumari Special- Ada Payasam and Nenthiram Chips

Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it in water for about 30 minutes.

In a pan, heat ghee over medium heat and add the cashews and raisins. Fry until golden brown and set aside.

In the same pan, add the soaked rice and sauté for a few minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.

Add 4 cups of water to the pan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the rice is cooked and soft.

Once the rice is cooked, add the jaggery and stir until it dissolves completely.

Pour in the coconut milk and mix well. Cook for another 5-10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.

Add the cardamom powder and salt, and mix well.

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

Garnish with the fried cashews and raisins before serving.
