Kambu Koozh / Pearl millet Porridge...

This is one of our traditional dish here in tamilnadu, early days in  most of the houses it is served as breakfast...but the revolution of white rice had made this nutrietious millets to take back seats...

Ingredients:
Pearl millet / Kambu - 3/4 cup
White rice  - 1/4 cup
Salt to tast..
Shallots  - 100 gm
Green chilly - 1
Oil - 2 tsp
Shredded coconut - 2 tbsp.

Wash rice, pearl millet and pressure cook it (Same like cooking rice) to 3 whistle...
once cooked add 1 more glass of water and pressure cook for 1 whistle, it will be in pongal consistency...
Now temper Green chilly, shallot and coconut  to get add it to the cooked millet and add salt to taste...
Once it reaches the room temperature add butter milk to make the cooked millet to porridge consistency...

This can be served with dry fish curry / Kara kuzhambu or any spicy tangy gravies...

 
Note : it will be have a nutty texture in the porridge, if you want a smooth texture before cooking you can dry roast and grind the pearl millet to powder and then proceed with the same process.
