This rice porridge is so nourishing, wholesome, fulfilling and very much a comfort food. Rosematta rice is used to cook this kanji along with green gram dal and chana dal. Ghee and coconut enhances the flavour and make this kanji so very tasty and delicious. Mallugirl of Malabar spices is hosting a Summer express cooking event. Sending this dish for this event. This kanji is simple to make and can be prepared within 30 minutes.

looks delicious.. i am sure it would be yummy
I have never tasted anything like this...u posting this gives a reason for me to make it
Hi, nice entry! simple and healthy!
heh heh! kanji is good for the soul!
wow! Simply Spicy err Lovely :)
i so want to make it, but do not hv the rosematta rice. will any other substitution be too far fetched?
Rice and dal must be tasting good and so healthy too.Never made Kanji before, looks delicious:)
Hi Sig : Give this recipe a try. You will remember the taste again :D
Hi Rajitha : It is yummy...add more ghee ...you will love the taste :)
Hi Bhags : Do try...a whole meal in one pot :)
Hi Latha : Yes, simple healthy and tasty :)
Hi Mallugirl : Hey, what ?? you don't agree with me, huh ? Hehehe..
Hi Richa : Good to know you want to try :) Rosematta is the best for this...other than rosematta, maybe you can try par-boiled rice. The cooking time for rosematta and dals are similar, so once cooked rice and dal looks proportionatly cooked.
Hi Asha : Thanks..yes it's a nice combination. Give it a try...add more ghee and coconut..yum ! :D
it's nice to see forgotten recipes like this one. what's not to like about kanji with payar? adding chana dal is a great idea. sometimes, i add a teaspoons of masala from the mango pickle bottle while cooking for a new flavour dimention.
wow, the kanji looks absolutely delicious. thanks for sharing
what a nice comforting dish. Absolutely love it. If I get rosematta rice I'll try it.
Hahha...U too!!!! :)))
Hey...adding chana dhal is something new to me...i have heard of preps with rice and green grams together....but never ventured to do it:P and one doubt, is it something like kichdi, except for the liquidy part?
Shn
WOW.....Mouthwatering recipe....I am hungry.....Excellent pictures...
Kanji........... oh i am getting homesick. Have not had this in ages. And i do agree Kanji is good for ypu soul and not to mention you stomach :-)))
