Oats kanji recipe, oats porridge with garlic

August 13, 2009 by Raks Anand 53 Comments /

Indian style oats drinkable porridge / Kanji for breakfast. with garlic, coconut milk and spices
This is a perfect breakfast to kick start a day,healthy and a spicy,tasty,flavourful one. As a kid I have tasted nombu kanji,from our sweet Muslim neighbor  friends ,very flavorful and healthy one…Its made of raw rice and fenugreek seeds,with lots of garlic,veggies,coconut milk and flavored with fennel and coriander too! They make this Kanji for ending their fasting .
We too make a similar version and call it as vendhaya kanji and it’s very healthy,as it contains fenugreek seeds, garlic and coconut milk. It cures stomach/mouth ulcers, we don’t add fennel though!
So this oats porridge is fusion of the above two. This recipe is actually inspired by idea of Prathiba’s savory oats porridge, I tried recently her version and liked it so much, so thought I should try as my own version.

This kanji is good for feeding mothers too.

Oats kanji recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Breakfast

      oats kanji
    2. Open the cooker and mash it well with a masher. Make sure you mash the garlic properly so that the flavor blends well.oats kanji 2
    3. Extract milk from the coconut by grinding it with lukewarm water and squeeze out the milk.oats kanji 3

Add the extracted milk or low fat milk to the porridge and mix well and just heat a little and serve hot!! Smells great with garlic,fennel,coriander and tastes great with coconut milk! Enjoy hot!! oats kanji recipe

    You can try adding when it becomes warm. But I dint had this problem so far, only if we boil after adding coconut milk, then it curdles.

    Hey!! Can i try preparing the entire recipe till pressure cooking and store it in the fridge in the night and take it out in the morning and then add low fat boiled milk just before having breakfast??? Will there be any change in the taste or will it become thick if refrigerated and hence spoil the porridge completely. I'm asking this alternative cz I can save time in the morning. Awaiting ur reply…

    Thanks for this recipe.When my daughter suddenly became health conscious she brought home a big pack of oats, after trying it once she didn't like its bland taste.(she likes everything super savoury) I think this porridge will suit her taste.
