Aadi kummayam also known as Aadi koozh / aadi kool is a Chettinad special healthy sweet dish that is served in Chettinad marriage functions and other important occasions. Aadi kummayam is prepared with homemade kummayam powder that is prepared using urad dal, moong dal and raw rice. Palm sugar / Karupatti is used to sweeten the kummayam. But some people use jaggery as well. Usually kummayam is given to the young girls who attain their puberty to strengthen the bones. It is served by mixing with sesame oil/ Gingely oil.
When I heard about this Kummayam recipe from my friends, I felt it is very similar to my Tirunelveli style ulundhu kali. This year for Aadi special, I wanted to try and share this kummayam recipe in my blog. But I was not sure of the authentic kummayam powder recipe because I found so many recipes with variations in the quantity of ingredients. It was so confusing for me.
When I told this to my friend Shalini, she introduced Viji akka who is basically from Karaikudi, Chettinad. When I spoke to her over phone, she shared most of the traditional Chettinad special recipes like Kandarappam, Vellai paniyaram, seepu seedai and Aadi kummayam with proper measurements and details. How sweet ! She also referred few YouTube channels and websites to learn authentic Chettinad recipes.
Coming to this aadi kummayam recipe, Viji akka told her mom makes kummayam powder in large quantities grinding in flour mill and store it for months. But I made a small batch based on her measures. I also watched Seethai aachi’s kitchen YouTube video for more reference. Though its my first attempt, I felt its so easy to prepare. It came out so tasty too ! Above all, we had a satisfaction of having a very healthy sweet. Lets see how to make Chettinad special aadi kummayam recipe with step by step pictures.
