Kavuni Arisi Sweet is a very famous, popular and traditional recipe in Chettinadu district – TamilNadu. This Black Rice Pudding/Kavuni Arisi Sweet is served as dessert in Chettinadu belt for special occasions and in marriages. Kavuni Arisi or Black Rice is a hard variety of rice which turns purple after it’s cooked. This Black Rice is very popular and found commonly  in East Asian Countries. In olden days, the Chettiyar Community had trading business with the East Asian Countries and brought the wonderful and super healthy Black Rice during their travel back to Tamil Nadu. Usually the Kavuni Arisi Sweet is made with sugar, but I have replaced it with Jaggery as an healthy alternative. Kavuni Arisi is loaded with antioxidants and is a  wonderful source of nutrients, vitamins and minerals especially Iron and Protein and is naturally gluten-free.  Do try out this healthy and delicious Kavuni Arisi Sweet and post your comments here.
