Thengai Paal Kanji porridge with coconut milk



                                                       I am sure this will be an item familiar to all Tamilians. This kanji is an excellent home remedy for ulcer in the mouth,tongue or stomach.The healing effect of coconut and fenugreek does the wonder. All of us one day or the other will  be suffering from the mouth ulcer and find this kanji very useful..For the bachelors who have food outside the whole week can have this on the week end to soothe the stomach. Paruppu thuvayal  or Vendakkai pachadi will be an excellent combination.



Ingredients
Raw rice or Rice that you cook -1/2 cup
Garlic pods-10
Fenugreek seed -1 ½ teaspoon
Coconut milk –milk taken from a small coconut  or ½ cup thick tinned coconut milk

Procedure
Pressure cook the rice along with the garlic pods and fenugreek seeds adding  quarter cup coconut milk and 2 cups water.In slow flame cook the rice for 12 minutes.Open the cooker and smash the rice with a ladle adding little salt.remember this kanji does not need much salt. Now add nearly 2 cups of coconut milk.Add water to the tinned milk to make it two cups if tinned coconut milk is used. Serve immediately as the porridge will become thick once it cools .If you are going to use it later and find it very thick little more coconut milk or warm water can be used.

Spicy Pumpkin Soup with Coconut Milk

Here's a recipe for a quick and easy pantry soup
that just so happens to be gluten-free.

Cleaning out the pantry always makes hungry. Come to think of it, so does packing. And lugging laundry. But the truth is, this time of year- anything can make me hungry. I could blame it on shorter daylight. Or the jarring touch of the cold tile floor when I tumble out of bed barefoot and sleepy and weave through boxes of books and movies to locate my tea mug, gone missing since three PM yesterday when I set it down- goddess knows where- to help my husband wrap one of my forty-eight-inch abstracts.

All of it makes me hungry.

But here's my top ten.





Things That Make Me Hungry

  1. The relief of selling the house after 30 months of showings and price reductions and contracts falling through
  2. The excitement of starting over
  3. Letting go of the outgrown (again)
  4. Snapping a photo of my last full moon in the desert
  5. Finding childhood photographs of Colin and Alex on the beach
  6. Realizing we'll be gone before the second anniversary of the hip incident
  7. Finding a fourth floor studio to rent- six blocks from Santa Monica beach
  8. The sheer joy of shedding stuff
  9. Buying tickets to The Canyon showing at Grauman's Chinese Theater
  10. Thinking about tomorrow rather than yesterday
