Pressure cook the rice and the green gram in milk.(in the exact same way as you would cook plain rice, milk being the replacement for water).
In a non-stick pan, melt the jaggery.
It should reach a bubbly sticking consistency.
Pour the cooked rice in it, add the ghee and
keep stirring.
When it mixes well, let it simmer for
5-6 minutes.
Dissolve saffron in a spoon of milk.
Add this saffron, cardomom, nutmeg powder
to it.
Roast cashews and raisins in ghee and add
to the mixture.
Mix well.
Akkaravadisal is considered a speciality. It is not made very often...getting the right taste and consistency requires practice.
