Recipe Notes

Let over rice is best to be used for this neeragaram. If you are using fresh rice, give some 2-3hrs resting time then soak it.
Actually neeragaram is just water and rice but we can add buttermilk/curd to enhance the taste.
Mud pots are natural coolant so serving in it gives a cool feeling.
You can also add coriander, curry leaves to garnish and for extra flavour.
No need to refrigerate it.
