How To Make Vishu Katta

Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes.
Then drain the water and keep it aside.
Further heat 4 cup thin coconut milk in a heavy bottomed pan and let it boil.
Once it’s started to boil add the drained rice in it.
Stir it continuously and cook it in low flame until the rice is 1/2 cooked.
Next add salt to taste in it and mix well.
Further cook it in low flame until the coconut milk is absorbed well into the rice & rice is 3/4 th cooked.
Then add cumin powder in it and mix well.
Next add thick coconut milk in it and cook it in low flame until the rice is cooked well & coconut milk is absorbed well.
Further cook it in low flame until the mixture starts to leave from sides of the pan.
Once it started to leave from sides of the pan, then it will be the correct consistency of Vishnu katta mixture.
Finally, transfer the mixture into a plate and level it.
Allow it to cool down completely.
Now we need to prepare the jaggery syrup. For that, first we need to add 1 cup jaggery powder into a pan, then add 1 cup water into it. Heat it and let the jaggery dissolve completely.
Switch off the flame and strain it.
Once Vishnu katta cooled down completely, cut it into pieces.
Serve it with jaggery syrup.
