Ellu podi sadham (Sesame seed powder rice)

Making of Ellu podi sadham (Sesame seed powder rice) - Prepartion time 20 mins
I love to take ellu satham with moor kuzhambhu which is an excellent combination. Mom used to make this rice occasionally mostly it will be on a saturday of puratasi month. The taste will be good so you cannot resist this rice along with moor kuzhambu.

For so many years i thought of making this rice but my husband once told that he don't like ellu sadham. Once i even bought to make that but didn't try in my mom's home also my brother hate this rice and say some reason to avoid this rice. I tried in little quantity and came out well.

Now i thought of trying this rice atleast for me so bought sesame seed and kept. When my husband travelled for business i tried this podi and made ellu rice using the podi. It came out well. So now i am sharing this health and tasty recipe to you all. Another important health tip, Sesame seed (Ellu) is a very rich source of calcium. Do you know sesame seed per 100 gms contains more than 1100 mg of calcium i.e. the richest source when compared to milk, ragi, almond and chickpeas
