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.
