HOW TO PREPARE PERFECT AND AUTHENTIC PALLI VAASAL NOMBU KANJI RECIPE AT HOME/ IFTAR KANJI/ RAMALAN NOMBU KANJI RECIPE

 Ramzan Nombu Kanji (also known as Nombu Kanji or Seeraga Samba Kanji) is a flavorful and hearty porridge enjoyed during the holy month of Ramadan, especially for Iftar (the evening meal to break the fast). 

Here's a simple recipe to prepare this special dish at home.

Ingredients:

• Seeraga Samba rice – 1 cup (if unavailable, you can use any small-grained rice like Sona Masuri)
• Water – 4-5 cups (adjust based on desired consistency)
• Coconut milk – ½ cup (optional, for richness)
• Shredded coconut – 2 tbsp (optional, for extra flavor)
• Ghee (clarified butter) – 2 tbsp
• Onion – 1, finely chopped
• Ginger – 1 inch, grated
• Garlic – 2-3 cloves, minced (optional)
• Green chilies – 2, slit (adjust to taste)
• Cinnamon stick – 1 small piece
• Cloves – 2-3
• Cardamom pods – 2-3
• Fennel seeds – 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
• Salt – to taste
• Pepper – ½ tsp (adjust to taste)
• Fresh coriander leaves – for garnish

For Meat Option (optional):

• Chicken (or mutton) – 200g, cut into small pieces (you can skip this for a vegetarian version)
• Curry leaves – 1 sprig
• Garam masala powder – 1 tsp

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Rice

1. Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it in water for about 30 minutes (this helps the rice cook faster and gives it a softer texture).
2. Drain the rice and keep it aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Base

1. In a large pot, heat ghee. Add the fennel seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and curry leaves (if using). Sauté for about a minute until the spices release their aroma.
2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
3. Add the ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Add Meat (Optional)

1. If you're adding meat, now is the time. Add chicken or mutton pieces and sauté until they are browned and cooked through. Season with salt and garam masala (if using).
2. If you're skipping the meat, move to the next step.

Step 4: Add Rice and Water

1. Add the soaked and drained rice to the pot, and stir it well for a couple of minutes to mix with the spices.
2. Pour in water (about 4-5 cups, depending on how runny or thick you prefer the porridge).
3. Add a pinch of turmeric powder for color and taste. Stir everything together.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and soft. Stir occasionally.

Step 5: Add Coconut Milk (Optional)

1. Once the rice is cooked and the porridge has thickened, add coconut milk and stir well. You can also add shredded coconut at this point for extra flavor.
2. Let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6: Final Seasoning

1. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
2. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Serving:

Serve the Ramzan Nombu Kanji hot, ideally with dates and roasted nuts. It’s a fulfilling dish, perfect for Iftar after a long day of fasting.

Optional Additions:

• You can add raisins, cashews, or almonds for a richer, nuttier flavor.
• If you want a spicier version, you can add some red chili powder or extra green chilies.
