Narali Bhat

Cultural Context

Narali Bhat, a traditional Maharashtrian dish, is often prepared during the festival of Narali Purnima, celebrating the sea and its bounty. This sweet rice dish, made with coconut and jaggery, symbolizes prosperity and is a favorite among families. Today, Narali Bhat is enjoyed not only during festivals but also as a comforting dessert throughout the year.

Servings4
3-4 tsp ghee
6-7 green cardamom pods
1 stick cinnamon
10 cloves
2 cups long grain rice, rinsed and drained
4 cups coconut milk, fresh or from a can
⅛ tsp salt
1 pinch saffron (optional)
10-15 raisins (optional)
½ cup cashews (optional)
¼ tsp cardamom powder
2 cups grated jaggery
1

On medium heat, melt ghee in a pan.

2

Add cardamom pods, cinnamon, and cloves and sauté for a minute.

4

Add coconut milk, salt, and cardamom powder and bring to a boil.

5

Add saffron, raisins, and nuts (optional).

6

Cover and cook until rice is cooked through and liquid disappears, stirring intermittently so that rice doesn't stick to the bottom.

7

Add grated jaggery. Stir gently so you don't break the grains of rice.

8

Cover for a minute and lower the flame. The heat will help jaggery melt.
