Last week Sendhil was down with stomach upset problem. So my MIL made this rice porridge / arisi kanji for his breakfast. We too had the same. It was so filling, healthy and tasty too.We usually make this kanji when we are down with fever or stomach upset. raw rice or boiled rice, moong dal and cumin seeds combination helps for quick digestion, soothes our stomach, tongue and makes this porridge flavourful too. My MIL told the same can be given for 7-8 months babies too. But give it slightly watery if you are giving for first time.We had given this for Raksha when she was young.So I thought of blogging it under health food as well as baby food (two in one post).

-
Replace ghee by oil or use less ghee if making for sick people. Adding more ghee makes the digestion slow.
-
Addition of moong dal is optional. I usually add it for flavour.
-
Give this porridge only for babies above 7 months.
-
To make it instantly, you can roast moong dal and rice. Powder & store in a box. Mix a tsp of this powder in water and make porridge adding salt or sugar.
-
For adults, roast cumin seeds in oil and then powder them.
- You can replace boiled rice with raw rice.
