To begin making the Chalimidi recipe, rinse raw rice and soak in enough water for 5 hours. Drain soaked rice in cotton cloth and let it dry for 1 hour.
Grind rice into fine powder. Pass the flour through the sieve, collect fine rice flour.
Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a heavy bottomed pan, roast cashews, raisins and coconut separately until golden brown. Remove from flame, keep it aside.
Melt powdered jaggery with little water. Boil the jaggery syrup until thickens up and when tested by pouring in a small bowl of water it forms a ball.
Add all the ghee into the panakam (jaggery syrup) and whisk well.
Remove the syrup from heat, add rice flour little at a time and mix vigorously. Do not add too much rice flour and make it thick. This dish will thicken up as it cools. So keep the consistency loose.
