    Amma used to prepare similar and call it ganji oota...
    She used to prepare it with akki nuchhu, in its absence with rice....
    Amma used to cook rice soft, to that fine paste of fresh coconut,green chilly, coriander leaf and cumin seeds...
    Next goes salt and since this is ganji oota, needs to be little mushy....
    One of my fav simple recipes....

    Will try your version archu, it’s different than ours....

    Thanks Nandu :hearteyes:
    Ganji has many variations. Its the most simple yet most fulfilling food. My grand mom made this compulsorily once in 15 days. Its made everyday in many places of Mangalore even today. My grand mom made many variations of Ganji. Each one equally tasted well. Midi uppinkai and Rice porridge is heaven.

    Delicous !!!This is the ultimate comfort food. We make it with just rice , water and salt . Served with a side of middi pickle / tindora pickle or salted lemon pickle and life is sorted .
    The addition of jaggery is interesting.

    Lovely recipe, Archu. I will try to make it at the earliest.

    My mother made it a bit differently.

    Yeah, it was Nandu's mum's recipe+ Buttermilk! Of course, with the mandatory pickle or by adding finely chopped onions:)
