Notes:

• Akkaravadisal thicken with time so switch off accordingly.The consitency should be more like pudding.

• If its thick while serving add little warm milk mix well and then serve.

• Mash the rice and dal well.

• Always use a thick bottomed vessel to make this sweet as it tends to get burnt at the bottom easily.

• You can even use raw milk but I always prefer to use boiled milk.
