Jeeraka kanji is actually an iftar special recipe. When the month of Ramadan begins, Muslims enter into a period of discipline and worship: fasting during the day, and praying throughout the day and night. During Ramadan, special evening prayers are conducted during which long portions of the Quran are recited. This special prayer is known as Tharaweeh.
It is recommended that Muslims attend the Tharaweeh prayers in the mosque to pray in congregation. After Tharaweeh it is the time to break the fasting (Nombu thurakkal). Jeeraka Kanji is one main nombu thurakkal dish and Pachakkay curry, dried fish fry, pickle are the accompaniment of this main dish.
Jeeraka Kanji is a Ramadan Special recipe. It helps to improve the immunity power also.
INGREDIENTS
White rice (raw rice) - 1 cup
Coconut (grated) - 1/2 cup
Cumin seed - 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Fenugreek seed - 1/4 teaspoon
Shallots - 5
Salt - to taste
METHOD
Clean and wash raw rice and cook with fenugreek seeds, turmeric powder, salt and 5 cups of water in a cooker. Grind grated coconut, shallots and cumin seeds ( 1 pod garlic if necessary. But I don't use garlic in this jeeraka kanji) to make a smooth paste. Add this paste to the cooked rice and mix well. Cook in low flame for 2-3 minutes more. Stir occasionally. Add salt and water if kanji (porridge) is too thick. (Season the kanji with shallow fried shallots if necessary) Now tasty and healthy Jeeraka Kanji is ready. Enjoy it with Pacha Kay Curry
