Ariunda \ Ari Unda - Royal Malabar Sweet

Its an old post , re posting with new images.A popular sweet from Malabar which are mainly prepared in huge amounts during wedding, housewarming and all other family get together.These are one of my favorite tea time snack since childhood.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup par boiled rice
  • 1/2 cup powdered jaggeri(Found in Asian Markets , Indian stores OR substitute with brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated coconut
  • cardamom, to taste(optional)


Directions
Dry roast the par boiled rice on medium flame, adding about 1/4 th cup at a time. Stop roasting when it turns

golden brown and stops popping. Wait for about 5 minutes to cool the popped rice and grind to a fine powder(add the cardamom while grinding the rice to get a nice flavor). Mix coconut and jaggeri well and grind it in a blender to a paste. Now mix this well with powdered rice and make small balls. Store it in an air tight container, use with in a day or two.(Shelf life depends on the amount of coconut used, use less coconut for better shelf life)

  3. Never tasted this sweet..it is easy to make..we have a similar sweet in Sindhi Cuisine with wheat flour, but that requires lot of stir-frying on low flame.

  5. This sweet ball is truly yummy! I bought parboiled rice for making idlis but I always end up using the ready mix. they are sitting in the pantry from months. Can I use dessicated coconut in place of fresh? In that way I can keep it for longer time.

  12. Hi Balvinder i never tried dessicated coconut for this recipe.If u r trying use coconut flakes instead of powdered one. still i recommend using fresh coconuts to get the authentic taste.
