I wanted to try kambu sadam, kambu koozh for quite a long time. Finally i made kambu sadam today and reserved few balls for kambu koozh which i will be making it tomorrow.

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 1/4 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.

Pictorial:
I measure 1 cup of pearl millet / kambu
Poured that into a bowl
i just poured little water, say around 1/4 cup
rubbed with my hands really well, let this sit for 5 mins
now take them in a blender
i made it like rava consistency, but you can just crush it little
look at the consistency
I got around 2 cups of pearl millet rava from the 1 cup whole millet
take them in a bleder
add in 3 cups of water
mix well
Pressure cook
It will be bit runny at this stage, but as soon it cools it will get thick
i like to add little salt in my sadam
i poured it into a large plate to cool down faster
dip your hands in water
take a healthy portion of this millet mix
shape it into ball
Now it is done
You can serve it with spicy curry
I enjoyed it with karamani kuzhambu and mor milagai

    Very Nice.
    Is it not necessary to wash the Kambu one or two time by water (like rice cook)?
