I was searching for this recipe and glad that I came across this authentic nellindi recipe.
For me, nellindi is a quickfix medicine for minor stomach ailments like diarrhea, bloated stomach etc. Hot rice with nellindi and little ghee does the magic.
Same with me. Its a nostalgic dish for me. In our childhood we used to relish it. So far I could not get the authentic way of preparing the same as the younger generation not heard of it at all.
