"Akki Payas/ Akki Huggi" is a North Karnataka rice variety, which is usually prepared during festivals/ functions along with Kadubu/Holige. Seeing the name payas/huggi, dont think that its a sweet dish. Main ingredients for this dish are rice and kusubi. Many of you would not have heard or seen these seeds. I had brought kusubi while coming from India, I dont think we get them here in US of A. See the picture below for Kusubi seeds, they are like sunflower seeds but white in colour.
Ingredients:-
Rice- 1 cup
Kusubi-1/2 cup
Water-4 cups
Salt to taste
Procedure:-
- Cook rice in cooker with 3 cups of water.
- Grind Kusubi by adding a cup of water, strain it to remove all the pulp, collect only kusubi haalu.
- Add this kusubi haalu to cooked rice and bring it to boil.
- Akki payasa is ready to serve!!
