Friends, I will not be in town for another 5 days, I am taking a short break, will be missing you all. Before going on break, I wanted to post my favourite and delicious “Rice Kanji” which I prepared for amman and sharing it with you all. Om Shakthi…
There
are different types of rice kanji prepared in South India like the roasted rice
kanji, rice kanji with vegetables, rice kanji made with brown rice and so on.
But this is a very special “Rice Kanji – Prepared for Amman” as neivedhyam in
Nagapattinam and nearby districts. This
rice kanji is prepared in large scale instead of kezhvaragu koozh and distributed
to everyone after the special prayers are done to amman. Along with this kanji
the other neivedhyams prepared for amman are paanagam, neermor, maavilagu,
thullu maavu etc. Since my parents are from Nagapattinam and Thanjavore we
follow the same tradition of preparing rice kanji during the month of Aadi and
offer it to amman and do the special prayers. I had mentioned about this rice
kanji in few of my earlier post, but it is time for me to post this recipe as
well. I will very soon be posting other types of kanji in my future post. For now...
Here’s
how to make Rice Kanji with step by step

Wash
the rice and moong dal together at least three times and drain the water.
Cook it
directly on stove or pressure cook it with salt by adding about 5 cups of water
for three whistles.
After
the steam releases, mash the rice and dal really good with a big ladle. Add
another 2 – 3 cups of water to adjust the consistency of the kanji.
The
kanji consistency should be thin. Finally add the grated coconut and stir it
really well.
Super
delicious “Rice Kanji” is ready for neivedhyam or for your lunch or dinner.
