Rice Kanji (Rice Porridge)
Posted On May 11, 2010
In South India, from Babies to Elders, they should have come across this dish at some point in time. This is easily digestible, filling, and has a soothing taste. Sometimes doctors in India also recommend this as a diet during illness. I sometimes also make it when I have no mood to eat anything solid.
Ingredients:
- Rice – 1/4 cup
- Water – 2 cups
- Fresh Yoghurt – 1/4 cup (optional) but when used adds to the taste.
- Salt as per taste
Method:
1. Add rice and water to a Vessel or Pressure cooker and literally overcook the rice. The cooked rice has to be soft and watery.
2. Add the cooked rice, some water, yogurt, and required salt to a mixer and blend it become a coarse drink.
3. Serve it warm in a glass or bowl. Add little yogurt on top
Tips:
1. A hot pickle is a nice accompaniment to it.
