Method for Vendhaya Kali Recipe

  • Soak both the fenugreek and rice together in a bowl for 6 hrs or overnight.

  • Heat the same pan, add ground rice – fenugreek mixture and palm jaggery syrup, stir well in a medium flame, add salt and keep on stirring until it turns thick and soft.
  • Add oil and keep on stirring so that it should not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • To check if it is done, transfer a spoonful of kali to a plate, dip your hands in water and touch the kali, it should not stick to your hand. If it sticks, it is not done.

Tips

  • Use thick bottomed pan and wooden laddle while making kali.
  • Use gingelly oil for nice taste. You can also use ghee if you want.
  • Replace palm jaggery with regular jaggery.
  • You can also serve kali by pouring palm jaggery syrup on top. To do that, do not mix jaggery syrup with ground rice fenugreek mixture while stirring. Do it separately, then pour syrup while serving.
