This one is especially during summer - those harsh sunny sweaty days, where body heat considerably increases thus affecting the normal functioning of the system - dehydration. When u excessively sweat or feel dry, then go for this cooling kanji, which has no chilly in it; Though it can be taken with either pickle or chutni as an accompaniment for those who cant stay away from spicy food.
This one reminds me of so many things in the past. I used to run away from the very sight of this dish, saying it tastes "Yuk", unaware of the goodness that it carried. Now, when i fell sick due to excessive feast during the first week of my marriage, this one came to my rescue - guess who prepared it for me? U get no points for guessing - my mom in law! cool... right.... yeah, like the dish, she too is one cool of a woman!
Simple, yet so elegant.
Ingredients:
1. Rice - 1 cup
2. Garlic - 5 cloves
3. Salt to taste
4. Coconut milk - 1 cup
5. Fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp
Take a pressure pan, add 1 cup rice :2 cups of water, finely chopped garlic, fenugreek seeds. Cook this for around 3-4 whistles, till it gets mashed and looks like a kanji - porridge. Now, into this mixture, add a cup of coconut ilk and little water according to your needs. Dash in the salt to taste.
Enjoy this either with sugar or as it is, with any chutni or pickle.
