This recipe of Sesame Rice or Ellu Sadam is adapted from Tamil cuisine which is quick and easy recipe to make. Ellu Sadam Recipe is the traditional recipe involves roasting sesame seeds along with scrapped coconut, dry chilly, urad or chana dal and then grinding into a powder.

This aromatic powder is then added to the cooked rice along with salt and that is how Ellu Sadam is made. It is spicy and robust with flavors. However in this particular recipe of ‘Ghee Sesame Rice’ (Inspired by Tamil Cuisine) we haven’t made any sesame powder. We have just added lightly toasted sesame seeds with rice along with other condiments and it really tastes superb. But of course it is more quick than the traditional recipe and makes for an extremely easy and instant one pot meal that can be cooked in no time.

So as we see that Sesame Ghee Rice is a simple Stir Fry that can be quickly tossed, get more such easy Stir Fry Rice Dishes in this website like -

Our Sesame Ghee Rice is so delicious and complete in itself that basically you don’t need any accompaniments with it. However, if prefer you can pair it with Mango Pickle.

Sesame Ghee Rice can also be wonderfully paired with Curries, Stir Fries, Dal and Kadhi the same way as you serve Jeera or Cumin Rice. So you can team it with Kadala Curry, Aloo Matar Curry, Aloo Gobhi Curry, Sua Saag Aloo, Kadhi Pakodi and more.

To pack a quick Lunch Box in the morning, pack Sesame Ghee Rice with curd and Sambhar.

Best One For Navratri or Vrat -

Substitute common salt with Sendha Namak or Farali Salt and you can turn this Sesame Ghee Rice to a Navratri or Falahari Recipe.
