Traditional recipes: Tambittu/ Sallapindi

Ingredients: 

Red rice – 100 gm, rinsed and pre-soaked for 6 – 8 hours 
Organic jaggery – 150 gm 
Roasted peanuts – 100 gm, blend to form coarse powder 
Sesame seeds – 25 gm, stir fried until they puff up and blend into a fine powder
Green Cardamom – 2, crushed to fine powder 



Instructions: 

         Drain the water from the red rice. Put it in a blender and make a fine powder. Do not add any water for blending as the remaining moisture in the rice is sufficient to blend them well. Use a seive to separate the hard particles and fine powder. You may blend the hard particles again along with the remaining rice. Continue this process until all the rice is blended into fine powder. Add the sesame powder, roasted groundnut powder into the rice flour and mix well. 

        In a thick bottomed vessel, add organic jaggery along with sprinkle of water and let this mixture be heated. Keep stirring and remove any dirt particles in the jaggery. This mixture melts and turns to soft texture and starts to form bubbles. When this sweet mixture is thickening, pour it over the mixture of rice flour and other ingredients. Mix and bind them together to make a soft round ball. You may serve it as is as an offering to God or make small round balls and serve to family and friends. Quick, easy and healthy snack is ready!
