                      This is a perfect  break fast to kick start a day,healthy and a spicy,tasty,flavorful one.

This recipe is actually originated by idea of Prathiba’s savory oats porridge,I tried recently her version and liked it so much!

           As a kid I have tasted noanbu kanji,from our sweet Muslim neighbor  friends ,very flavorful and healthy one…Its made of raw rice and fenu greek seeds,with lots of garlic,veggies,coconut milk and flavored with fennel and coriander too! They make this Kanji for ending their fasting .

We too make and call it as vendhaya kanji and its very healthy,as it contains fenugreek seeds,garlic and coconut milk. It cures stomach/mouth ulcers ,we don't add fennel though!

So this oats porridge is fusion of the above two.

  2. Open the cooker and mash it well with a masher. Make sure you mash the garlic properly so that the flavor blends well.
  3. Extract milk from the coconut by grinding it with lukewarm water and squeeze out the milk.
