Multigrain Porridge Recipe – Kanji

My Dear friends, I am glad to inform you that Padhuskitchen has won the Bread Event organized by Chaitra  I got a lovely book on Kerala dishes for winning the event.

Today I am sharing with you my morning drink – it is a power packed drink which gives me the energy to be active the whole day.I know preparing this porridge powder is a bit time consuming process but worth the effort. If you are going to try it for the first time, then prepare it with lesser quantity.Since we have sprouted ragi, pearl millet, green gram and wheat, it further increases their nutritional value.This drink is very good especially for growing children and women. It helps in boosting immunity also.
