Ingredients
- 1 cup left over rice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 4 small onion chopped roughly
- 1 green chilies chopped finely
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Soak the leftover rice in immersing level of water overnight. Drain little water next day morning then add buttermilk / curd. Mash it well with a ladle. Add little more water to bring it to porridge consistency.
- Add required salt, finely chopped onion and green chilies, mix well. Pour into mud pots and allow it to rest for a while. Serve it.
- Pickle is the best combination for this else fish curry is an apt combo especially the one made the previous day.
Notes
- Left over rice is best to be used for this neeragaram. If you are using fresh rice, give some 2-3 hours resting time then soak it.
- Actually neeragaram is just water and rice but we can add buttermilk/curd to enhance the taste.
- Mud pots are natural coolant so serving in it gives a cool feeling.
- You can also add coriander, curry leaves to garnish and for extra flavor.
- I removed the seeds almost fully in green chilies to avoid the spice level in it.
- No need to refrigerate it.
