Ulundhu Kanji Recipe | Urad Dal Porridge is one of the healthy breakfast recipes served in olden days. It is a semi solid porridge served in sweet or salt version. I have prepared sweet kanji which is mildly sweet with flavors of coconut and Cardamom. It is usually given to girls at the time of puberty as it strengthens bone and spinal cord. It is very good for pregnant woman and old age people. A little quantity of urad dal is enough to prepare for the whole family. A glass of kanji is fulfilling and makes a light breakfast.
