Kambu makes a great alternative for rice. I strongly suggest you to skip rice atleast once or twice a week and include any millet in your diet. It is really a health alternative. Specially during summer days kambu koozh is best because it just cools your body naturally.
I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
Preparation Time : 5 mins
Cooking Time : 15 to 20 mins
Serves : 5
Ingredients :
Pearl Millet / Kambu / Bajra - 1 cup
Water - 3 cup
Salt to taste
Method:
Take pearl millet in a bowl, add in ¼ cup of water, rub well. leave it for 5 mins. Take this in a blender and make it like a rava consistency or crush it lightly.
Take this in a blender and add in water. Cover and Pressure cook for 4 whistle. Simmer the flame and cook for 5 mins. turn off the heat and let the steam escape all by itself.
Open the cooker, add in salt and mix well.
Transfer the mix to a big plate, cool it lightly. Dip your hands in water and shape the mix into balls.
Set aside and serve with any spicy kuzhambu.
