I have tasted Ramzan Nombu Kanji only once so far and I love the flavour of the kanji.The Nombu Kanji is a nutritious gruel made of raw rice and dal, cooked to a smooth porridge consistency and seasoned with spices, the kanji’s flavours are much like the biryani so I felt like drinking biryani :) Actually they use meat(chicken / mutton) but I preferred to make the veg version of the nombu kanji.
Nombu Kanji is made in a gigantic container and is then transferred to small bowls for serving.Last Ramzan, I posted
sheer khurma and this year happened to see nombu kanji in many blogs which tempted and reminded me that I haven't posted it yet so here comes the recipe for Ramzan Nombu Kanji from my kitchen.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which the Quran was revealed.Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset.In Southern states such as Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, Muslims break their fast with nonbu kanji, a rich, filling rice dish of porridge consistency, cooked with meat and vegetables. This is often served with bonda,
bajji, and
vadai.
