Nugalu Kanji / Rice Sooji Porridge

This simple, easy-to-make porridge recipe has been passed over many generations in my family. Delicious in taste and light on stomach, this kanji is more than porridge as it acts as a good remedy for sore throat and cough. Broken rice when cooked and tempered with desi ghee and jeera, lowers the body heat and becomes a natural coolant. Doctors prescribe this porridge for those who are recovering from fever as it is easily digestible. Moreover, this porridge can be given to toddlers also.
Once cooked and tempered, this kanji can be savoured in two ways… Either by adding little bit of milk and sugar or with thin buttermilk and salt. Both the versions taste great!!
