Kanjivallam (Rice porridge)


I always prefer light diet in the morning. If you are just like me, then this will be a lovely diet that can be made soon too.

Kanjivallam is a kerala dish which is also called as malabar kanji. I am really not sure if this is the perfect authentic way it is made, but this is the way I love it. :)


Kanjivallam

Milk - 1/2 cup

Method:

Cook rice and moong dhall together in cooker pouring 5 cups of water. Now smash the contents nicely. Add milk, salt and coconut to it and mix well. You can add more water if you want the porridge to be lite. Finally heat this contents for 5 m
