Rice kanji

Thin rice porridge — a gentle starter when you want something lighter than khichdi.

Kanji is soft rice cooked with extra water until it becomes a thin porridge. Useful on quieter tummy days.

What you need • 2 tbsp rice • About 1 cup water

How to make it

  • Wash the rice.
  • Cook with plenty of water until the grains are very soft and the liquid is cloudy and thin.
  • Mash lightly. Strain if you want it smoother for early spoons.
  • Cool to lukewarm and serve the same day.

A little tip: As chewing improves, leave a few soft grains. No salt or spice yet.
