    Hi Padhu,
    I tried this today. The taste was as I imagined, but the consistency was watery….should I have boiled it for longer? Or should I add arisi maavu?

      Boil for a little longer. Or you can fry 1/2 tsp of raw rice along with the ingredients under "fry and grind" and then grind it.
