Nellikkai Sadam Recipe
Nellikkai Sadam Recipe, Amla Rice using Leftover rice. Healthy Nellikkai Sadam Quick and Easy Lunch box Menu. Nellikkai Sadam is an authentic and traditional rice-based recipe from the popular Tamil Nadu cuisine. It is a well known one-pot meal from Tamilnadu made from Gooseberry, the recipe is ideal to be served as a lunch box dish but can also be made for celebrations and occasions lunch and dinner. It looks and tastes like lemon rice. But with a healthy twist, grated Nellikkai added to give extra flavor to the rice. More Nellikkai recipes like Nellikkai Thayir Pachadi, Nellikkai Thokku, Nellikai Chutney.
To be honest, i wasn’t aware of this recipe till recently, I was invited by one of my friends for the Pongal lunch and she had made this Nellikkai Sadam Recipe, as one of the rice variety. I was very surprised with the name and also the way she made it. I asked she passed the recipe and I tried it at home everyone loves it.  Since am a great fan of One Pot meal this Nellikkai Sadam is on repeated mode these days.
A few days before I have share Maa inji Sadam have you checked that recipe, if not here is the link quickly check it. Both are equally tasted good.
I have used leftover rice to make the Nellikkai Sadam, alternative, you can cook rice, preferably seeraga samba rice for an authentic Tamil flavor, cool down completely, and then use it. I used Mango Ginger(grated Maa inji for Extra flavor) you can also use grated ginger and ground it to smooth paste. lastly, adding vegetables grated carrots, or beets to this dish is completely open-ended.
