Porridge / Kanji takes place atleast once in a week in my house. Normally it will be ulundu kanji or this wheat ulundu kanji. But I made this porridge yesterday and i loved it so much. Its been a while since i posted any millets recipes and many people has started asking me. I have already posted millets porridge before and this one is made with only varagu. When i had this, i didn’t miss my normal rice milk kanji and it tasted so yummy. You can have it with this thoran but i made a spicy podi chana sundal and had with that. Will share that soon.

I loved this bowl set so much, this is again hubby’s gift for me from russia..So give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you..

Varagu / Kodo Millet – 1 cup
Water – 3 cups
Garlic – 10 cloves peeled
