Ramzan Nombu Kanji Recipe

Ramadan nombu kanji recipe with stepwise pictures and video.

I have tasted Ramzan Nombu Kanji only once so far and I love the flavour of the kanji.The Nombu Kanji is a nutritious gruel made of raw rice and dal, cooked to a smooth porridge consistency and seasoned with spices, the kanji’s flavours are much like the biryani so  I felt like drinking biryani and fondly call it as biryani kanji 🙂

Actually meat(chicken / mutton) is used but I preferred to make the veg version of the nombu kanji.Nombu Kanji is made in a big container and is then transferred to small bowls for serving.Last Ramzan, I posted sheer khurma and this year happened to see nombu kanji in many blogs which tempted and reminded me that I haven’t posted it yet so here comes the recipe for Ramzan nombu kanji recipe from my kitchen.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which the Quran was revealed.Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset.In Southern states such as Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, Muslims break their fast with nonbu kanji, a rich, filling rice dish of porridge consistency, cooked with meat and vegetables. This is often served with bonda, bajji, and vadai.

Notes

  • You can add other veggies like beans,cabbage etc.
  • If you are adding chicken / mutton 100gms, pressure cook it separately until slightly tender then add it along with rice dal.In that case you can use chicken/mutton stock instead of water.
  • The kanji should be in drinkable consistency as they serve int in a curved bowl to drink.It will get thicken soon , so switch it off at the right consistency.Else add more water to thin the porridge.
  • Traditionally they make this kanji in large containers , stir and cook it in open pot which takes time but I chose the pressure cooking way as its easy 🙂
  • Do not boil the mixture after thick coconut milk is added.

    Came out so well. Though, instead of Coconut milk, I added little Coconut gratings as per my mother in law's instruction. Still it was absolutely delicious.
