Rice cooked in water is called Congee and is a staple meal in Kerala and many Asian countries. Congee is often served with side dishes. Here i have used the leftover rice from the previous day and flavoured it with some spices and buttermilk. Thus no need for additional accompaniment. This Congee is a one pot wholesome meal.
