So healthy too. In Kerala, curry leaves are not added to Kanji. But it is mostly accompanied with Moong dal thoran, pappadam and achar. That is a wonderful preparation. So healthy too.

The philiphinos preapre an item called 'Ganju',which is very similar to this. But they will not use curry leaves, and also, they will not frain the rice. The rice is allowed to become mushy,and disintegrate with the water. To this, we used to add salt, scraped coconut,and eat with some picle. This is prepared in every house in philiphines during GOOD FRIDAY, as most of them will fast for the whole day ,and in the night, they will take this Ganju. Hi.

(Basmati or Sona Masoori). Will the taste change? Thanks for the great recipes. <i>Indira replies: Hi Swetha, parboiled, brown or rosematta rice are better than plain polished white/basmati varieties. I guess you can try it with them also if you want. I have never tried making with white rice before, and I don't think they would taste the same. Hope this helps. Let me know how you like it if you try. Thanks.</i> Hi Indira,

When ever I go to my grandma's place, I visit her neighbor when I was little. They used to drink this Ganji and Karam with rice. They used to give me those amma muddalu and I used to eat happily. I don't know how they eat but tasted very nice. cheers rajani Hi Indira,
