Kambu Thayir Sadam Recipe

I always stock up Kambu / Pearl Millet / Bajra when it gets over especially now as its summer. Kambu Koozh is regular in our house this summer.Few months back when we dined at Anandas, I saw the todays special menu having kambu curd rice and I was like wow thats a great idea….So I made kambu thayir sadam few days back and we enjoyed it, it is sure a good option to our regular curd rice.

I actually wanted to post another method of how to cook kambu but this time I ended up cooking in cooker but usually amma cooks it in a thick bottomed vessel, as it takes time I prefer the pressure cooking way but sure to post that method soon, atleast in the next kambu recipe for sure 🙂

My Notes:

  • If you like add chopped raw onion too.
  • If you are packing then add few tbsp of milk along with curd and mix well.
  • Make kambu rice thick so that while mixing it doesn’t go runny.
  • If you prefer add little water and curd while mixing.
  • Serve with pickle or any kuzhambu of your choice.
