Samba sadam recipe – Pepper jeera rice – Simple no onion no garlic samba sadam recipe – Tamilnadu kovil prasadam recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

This is a very simple rice variety. We can make this for aadi perukku and Kannu pongal too. Recently we had a week of Kanda Shasti celebrations at the Hindu temple in Hongkong. I went everyday evening. Daily one of us will be taking a prasadam to the temple. I was asked to bring samba sadam on one of the days. After neivedyam we all had a spoon of it. Everyone loved it so much and asked me whether I have this recipe on my website. Since it is a very basic recipe, I never thought of posting this one. But later realized, that I should document this here. This will be helpful for others and also for me for future reference, especially for measurements.

You can pack this for lunch box too and pair this with simple kootu or aviyal or a raita too. I used raw rice for this recipe. For neivedyam we usually use raw rice, also called pacharisi. You can make this with parboiled rice or basmati rice or the aromatic seeraga samba rice too. You can make this for Navaratri neivedyam too. Also instead of rice, you can use millets for making this samba sadam
