Aravana
Aravana is a Kerala temple-style rice pudding cooked slowly with jaggery and ghee until glossy, thick, and caramel-sweet, finished with coconut and cardamom for a festive offering.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Rinse the rice and cook it in plenty of water until the grains are soft but still distinct.
Melt jaggery with a little water and strain away grit.
Simmer the cooked rice with jaggery syrup, stirring often as it thickens and darkens.
Fry coconut, cashews, and raisins in ghee until fragrant.
