Today, on Dwadashi, to break my fast, I prepared this new, stunning, yummy recipe – ragi rice and fresh coconut Porridge or ragi annada kayi ganji or ragi kayi ganji

While continuing my experiment with steamed ragi rice, today I made ragi rice kayi ganji, our Karnataka’s age-old, traditional porridge recipe (which originally uses rice and fresh coconut) by using steamed ragi rice

Words cannot describe the taste; you just have to make it yourself. So do try this wonderful recipe as soon as possible and let me know your opinion

Here you can take a look at my first experiment with this easy-to-cook steamed ragi rice (sold by Krafted Millets):- ragi rice huggi or Finger millet rice split green gram huggi/Khichdi

Ingredients : measuring cup used – 250 ml, serves 3 people

  • Steamed ragi rice – 1/2 cup
  • Grated fresh coconut – 1/2 cup
  • Tapioca pearls/sago/sabudana/sabbakki – 2 tbsp
  • Water – 2 cups, later to get desired consistency you may need more water (I have put 2+1 cup)
  • Salt – 1 tsp (adjust)

PROCEDURE :

  • First, rinse and wash well both ragi rice and sago until you see clear water, drain well, put 1&1/2 cup of fresh water and set aside for 20 minutes
  • Then, put fresh coconut and 1/2 cup of water in a mixie jar and grind into a fine paste, then transfer it into a container
  • To the same container also put, soaked ragi rice and sago, pressure cook until done. In my cooker it takes 1 whistle. Or you can gather everything directly in a cooker and pressure cook until done
  • Once completely pressure is released naturally, put salt and you can add more water to get desired consistency and bring it to boil again stirring occasionally
  • Ragi rice kayi ganji paired along with bottle gourd fresh peas peanuts Kootu
