Thank you for such a good dish. I tried, it came out very well & too tasty. Better than Arisi uppa kozhukkattai. Very easy version & step by step, you explained clearly. All the above the pictures are mouth watering….. One doubt can we do this with Oats… did you tried?

Can we store this in fridge and reheat next day? Will it keep good

Yes it will stay good. Steam it for 3 minutes and it will become soft again.
