Recipe for Day sesame rice shared below.

Planned to go out evening for navratri festivities but couldn’t finish all the yoga practices in the morning so kept things simple today with the kolam and naivedhyam, making time to do practices in the evening along with Navaratri Sadhana 😌

Today’s naivedhyam: Yellanna( Sesame rice ) and Curd rice
Kolam: 7*3 dots
Our daily Sadhana: Guru pooja + Shambhavi mahamudra kriya+ Surya kriya + chants + others..
Today’s colour: Grey

Sesame rice can be prepared in different ways, below is one method I did today.
Rice: 1.5cups cooked and slightly cooled down

✨Dry Roast and Grind
Sesame seeds: 2tbsp
Urad dal: 2tbsp
Dry chilli: 4 nos
Fresh grated coconut: 1 tbsp

✨Tempering
Sesame oil: 2tbsp
Mustard seeds: 1/4tsp
Urad dal: 1/2tsp
Curry leaves: 1 sprig
Cashew nuts: 5-6nos
Peanuts: few(optional)

✨Process
- Dry roast the ingredients mentioned and allow it to cool down completely before grinding to a course powder
- Heat oil in a pan, add all the tempering ingredients starting with mustard seeds and the rest. Allow the seeds to splutter, urad dal to change colour.
- Add the cooked rice to it ( I only used half portion of rice for this, rest for curd rice)
- Add the course powder
- Add salt 1/2tsp
- Mix everything well
✨Yellanna/ Yellina chitranna/ Ellu sadham / Sesame rice is ready to be served

Please make adjustments if needed as per your taste, I am writing this in the middle of festival celebrations and cant be much more detailed atm🤗)
