Kavuni Arisi Sweet

A few months ago, I had a chance to taste this delicious sweet at a wedding party. Kavuni arisi sweet, being a popular sweet recipe in Chettinad weddings, has a delightful mix of flavors and an aroma that can only be explained as heavenly. The crunchy outer and soft inner textures of the Kavuni rice make this dish very unique and fun to eat. Moreover, research shows that forbidden rice contains over 23 types of antioxidants and has the highest antioxidant activity of all rice varieties. So go ahead and try this amazing sweet recipe out!

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for a perfect Kavuni arisi sweet. Firstly, black Kavuni rice is very hard rice. So the rice needs to be soaked overnight or for at least 6 hours.  Secondly, you can also add 1/2 cup shredded coconut and 1/2 tsp cardamom powder instead of grinding coconut and cardamoms.
Finally, you can also add white sugar instead of jaggery. And you can also add less sugar if you wish.
