Thengai Paal Kanji (porridge with coconut milk)
I am sure this will be an item familiar to all Tamilians. This kanji is
an excellent home remedy for ulcer in the mouth,tongue or stomach.The healing
effect of coconut and fenugreek does the wonder. All of us one day or the other
will be suffering from the mouth ulcer and find this kanji very useful..For the bachelors who have
food outside the whole week can have this on the week end to soothe the
stomach. Paruppu thuvayal or Vendakkai
pachadi will be an excellent combination.
Ingredients
Raw rice or Rice that you cook -1/2 cup
Garlic pods-10
Fenugreek seed -1 ½ teaspoon
Coconut milk –milk taken from a small coconut or ½ cup thick tinned coconut milk
Procedure
Pressure cook the rice along with the garlic pods and
fenugreek seeds adding quarter cup
coconut milk and 2 cups water.In slow flame cook the rice for 12 minutes.Open
the cooker and smash the rice with a ladle adding little salt.remember this
kanji does not need much salt. Now add nearly 2 cups of coconut milk.Add water
to the tinned milk to make it two cups if tinned coconut milk is used. Serve immediately
as the porridge will become thick once it cools .If you are going to use it
later and find it very thick little more coconut milk or warm water can be
used.

Tried this Porridge today and it was lip-smacking good :) Thanks for the recipe, Aachi... It became little thick after I had mashed the rice along with coconut milk and water. Should I increase the amount of water while pressure cooking it?
Madhu,you can add more water while you cook and also can add coconut milk mixed water more after smashing to get your desired consistency.There is no hard and fast proportion for coconut milk or water added.
Hi mam
I tried this receipe today it came out really good. Can i give this kanji to my 18 months old daughter.
bhuvana,Try giving 2 to 3 spoons initially to the kid.gradually increase the qty.That will be safer for all new food given to kids.
