Here is a recipie of akkaraivadisal which is tried and gives decent results
Ingredients : Rice(1 cup), Green gram(1/2 cup), milk(4 cups), jaggery(1 1/2 cups),
ghee(4 spoons), saffron(1 pinch), cardomom(2-3 pods), nutmeg powder(1/2 spoon), cashews(10-12), raisins(a handful)
Pressure cook the rice and the green gram in milk.(in the exact same way as you would cook plain rice,
milk being the replacement for water).
In a non-stick pan, melt the jaggery.
It should reach a bubbly sticking consistency.
Pour the cooked rice in it, add the ghee and keep stirring.
When it mixes well, let it simmer for 5-6 minutes.
Dissolve saffron in a spoon of milk.
Add this saffron, cardomom, nutmeg powder to it.
Roast cashews and raisins in ghee and add to the mixture.
Mix well.
