Ellu Sadam | How to make Sesame Rice

Ellu Sadam is a spicy rice dish made with the Sesame spice powder. This is a quick and easy rice to make as you can store the spice powder as well.

I already have an Ellu Sadam made with toor dal before, so this time I wanted to make the spice powder with Urad dal. Since I have some more of the mixed rice varieties listed, I wanted to check if I could make all of them together.

So this was part of the cooking marathon I had for a saturday lunch along with couple of more dishes. I had to make sure the spices were roasted and powdered separately so that it could be added as per requirement. I really love this part of the Mega Marathon, when I can enjoy calculating and scaling up or down depending on the need.

We had such a fantastic meal with all three dishes prepared and I would surely be making these dishes again!

Ellu Sadam is my choice for EC in the AtoZ Quick Under 30 Minutes, which is my theme in the Biryanis, Pulaos, Khichdis and Mixed Rices, where I am doing Quick Under 30 Minutes Meals. If you want to read some elaborate Biryanis, check out what I have for E in Spice your Life!
