Nombu Kanji, also known as Ramadan Kanji, is a traditional South Indian porridge made during the holy month of Ramadan. It is a healthy and nutritious dish made with rice, lentils, vegetables, and spices. The dish is popular among the Muslim community in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
To make Nombu Kanji, rice and lentils are cooked with water until soft and mushy. Vegetables like carrots, beans, and peas are added to the mixture along with onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies for flavor. The dish is then seasoned with a blend of spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Some recipes also call for coconut milk to be added to the mixture for extra creaminess.
Nombu Kanji is often served hot with a side of pappadums or pickle. It is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for breaking the fast during Ramadan. The dish is also considered to be a wholesome meal that provides essential nutrients and energy to sustain the body during the long hours of fasting.
