Mor Kali (Kazhi) Recipe (Savory Rice Flour Breakfast Pudding)
Rice flour combined with butter milk, ginger and green chilli and tempered
Mor Kazhi or Kali is a very simple, delicious and nutritious porridge. Porridges are typically perceived to be sweet and made from oats or semolina. But in More Kazhi, rice flour when combined with butter milk, ginger and green chilly along with the seasoning gives a warm yet spicy feel to the palate. We also love to serve Mor Kali (Kazhi) Recipe (Savory Rice Flour Breakfast Pudding) along with Mor Milagai which is another classic south indian roasted chilli and Mangai Inji Recipe (Mango Ginger Pickle).
