Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s healthy Thakkali Sadam

Let’s start with the most important part, the ingredients list. To prepare Thakkali Sadam in Samantha’s style, you’ll need the following: Kashmiri chili powder, Urad dal, Curry leaves, Green chili, Mustard seeds, Shopped Garlic cloves, Chopped Coriander leaves, Jeera, Fennel seeds, Brown rice, Chopped tomatoes, Turmeric powder, Cashew nuts, Jaggery, Garam masala, Coriander powder, Onion slices, and Ghee.

Let’s get cooking

Once you have all the ingredients together, start with soaking the brown rice in water for half an hour. Strain and combine the brown rice with two ¼ cups of water in a pressure cooker. Cook for 5-7 whistles and remove it from the heat. Open the pressure cooker lid once it has cooled down, then fluff the rice with a fork and keep it aside.

Now, heat the ghee in a pan. You can also use oil, but ghee is a healthier alternative. Add chopped garlic, onion, and green chili slices, and stir. While stirring, add the other spices like turmeric, and mustard seeds, followed by the chopped tomatoes, coriander, chilli powder, and coriander powder. Keep stirring and cook till it’s mushy. Add water to this. Once this is ready, add the cooked rice, chopped coriander leaves, salt, and fennel seeds. Lastly, garnish with cashew nuts and serve hot.
