    Ulunthu kanji is a healthy porridge made with black urad dal and rice as main ingredients.

    This is one of the kanji recipes I wanted to give a try since a long time.I got the recipe from a friend as its a staple in their house for lunch atleast once a week.Black urad dal has a lot of health benefits and is very good for bones.We always make ulunthu kali atleast twice a month but this kanji is new to me.But after tasting it I am going to make this as regular in our menu too as I loved it.

    As a kid I never liked kali and kanji varieties and as a contrast I am so loving it.Blame it on ageing and ofcourse when you start cooking you are more health conscious I guess. The main reason being you feel more responsible for your family’s good health and look for more nutritious and healthy food.

    This ulunthan kanji is

    • nutritious
    • tasty
    • healthy
    • boosts energy etc.

    You can make this either for breakfast or lunch.Do try this healthy kanji and enjoy!

    Notes

    • I used whole black urad dal but you can use split ones too.
    • You can use white urad dal also but the one with skin(black urad dal) has more health benefits packed.So I recommend using black urad dal either whole or split.
    • Add more milk or water according to the consistency you like your porridge.
    • You can even add coconut milk and skip coconut too.It gives nice flavour to the porridge.
    • It thickens with time so switch off accordingly.

      In your list of Instructions (#2 and #3) you write “cook” after pressure-cooking the dal/rice mixture. How long does it need to cook in that state or did you mean to write ‘cool?’ Thanks, Dido.

        I meant switch off and cook as that heat is just enough to mash the porridge.
