SAMAI KANJI RECIPE

 

SAMAI KANJI RECIPE / Little millet porridge is a delicious, healthy gruel made with little millet, dal and mild spices. You can make the same kanji with varagu or kuthiravalli or thinai.  This millet porridge is a perfect summer coolant, very creamy and mildly spiced, it has a slight taste of samai pongal. I have used buttermilk for creaminess instead you can also use milk. Adding carrot is to enhance the nutrition.
If you don’t have millets at home,  replace it with rice. I love to drink ragi koozh or kambu koozh for breakfast but for a change I had this samai kanji for yesterday breakfast along with small onion.  They are very easy to digest, very filling and cholesterol free. Perfect kanji recipe for diet and diabetic people.
