    Ingredients for Kambu Sadam

    • Pearl Millet / Kambu / Bajra - 1 cup
    • Water - 3 cup
    • Salt to taste
     

    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..

    How to Make Kambu Sadam

    1. Take pearl millet in a bowl, add in ¼ cup of water, rub well. leave it for 5 mins.
    2. Now take this in a blender and make it like a rava consistency or crush it lightly.
    3. Take this in a blender and add in water. Cover and Pressure cook for 4 whistle.
    4. Simmer the flame and cook for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and let the steam escape all by itself.
    5. Open the cooker, add in salt and mix well.
    6. Transfer the mix to a big plate, cool it lightly.
    7. Dip your hands in water and shape the mix into balls.
    8. Set aside and serve with any spicy kuzhambu.

    Kambu Sadam Recipe Step by Step

     
    I measure 1 cup of pearl millet / kambu
    Poured that into a bowl
    i just poured little water, say around ¼ 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)?
