Kummayam - Aadi Kummayam is totally new to me. I saw this in many blogs. I normally make kali / Porridge. As this also has more urad dal I decide to give it a try. It is simple to make and even beginners can try as there is specific string consistency needed. Ghee in this is totally up to you. By name, this is made during Aadi month. This involves making Kummayam flour and finally making kummayam. It is really healthy high in protein and iron. this traditional Chettinad dish is given to girls during the puberty stage too.
