Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add ragi flour and 5 cups water to a mixing bowl. Mix it without any lumps. We can add more water later if required
- 2
Heat a vessel and add this mixture to it. Keep stirring using a ladle on medium flame.
- 3
Slowly the mixture will start thickening and tends to make lumps. Immediately Keep the flame in low heat and use backside of a wooden ladle/mathu (or thidupu) to stir. Stir it vigorously such that you break the lumps.
- 4
In 5 mins, it becomes more thicker. At this stage leave it in low flame for 5 mins.
- 5
After 5 mins, stir it once and Leave it again for another 5 mins. Keep stirring once every 5 mins until it gets cooked.
- 6
At one stage, the kali gets firmer and starts leaving the pan. That’s how we know that it cooked completely. Switch off the flame.

Place this vessel in floor and hold it with feet by keeping a cloth in between. Stir it once vigorously using the backside of wooden ladle.

Serve with any gravy or peanut chutney.

Mango Daliya/ Mango porridge Mango Daliya/ Mango porridge
Mango Dalia is a sweet porridge made with broken wheat, milk and mangoes. My mother used to make this sweet porridge for breakfast and I used to save some and had it after dinner as a dessert. It is a great way to use mangoes which are very healthy and nutritious. I don't use any sweetner for this Dalia as mango puree provides the sweetness and creamy texture as well. But sometimes the mangoes are not sweet enough and you have to add a little sugar or any other sweetner to enhance the taste.This porridge is a great way to start your day. Broken wheat provides all the benefits of a grain, mangoes provide the nutrients of a fruit and milk is a great source of calcium and protein. Together they make a complete healthy breakfast meal. It is good for growing kids also. This one pot meal can be prepared in advance and can be kept in the refrigerator for 6-7 hours. It tastes best when served chilled. #CookClick

Spiced Porridge (Bubur Lambuk) Spiced Porridge (Bubur Lambuk)
This year's Ramadhan, is the first year that all mosques in SG are closed, and nationwide are staying home as part of the Circuit Breaker.Meaning there can't be any iftar gathering with families, no terawih at mosques. And there are no distribution of Ramadhan porridge by mosques.I felt it would be nice to attempt this porridge myself, to serve my fasting hubby and kids. However, it was challenging because I forgot how the usual mosque's porridge tasted like, and I had to cook without tasting.Thank God, I came across LinsFood's recipe: https://www.linsfood.com/bubur-lambuk-ramadan-recipe/I am not sure if I can tag her.. Admins, do let me know. 👐If any case the taggings works, @azlinbloor & #linsfood , Kak Lin, your recipe is a keeper!I adjusted the cooking method to suit my preference.LinsFood's recipe is foolproof by many. So you may want to attempt hers if mine seems complicated. However the ingredients are all the same, just different in some of the quantities.And oh! My garnishing was unfortunately very depressing.. because the supermarkets here ran out of coriander leaves.. 😖 So red chillies was the best I could dig out from my fridge.Ramadhan Kareem to all Muslims! 🤲😘

Turmeric Arroz Caldo - Chicken Congee | Filipino rice porridge Turmeric Arroz Caldo - Chicken Congee | Filipino rice porridge
Turmeric, the miracle spice, is so "in" these days because of its health benefits. Since turmeric is already commonly added to steamed rice, why not add it to a congee (or lugaw in Filipino, or Arroz Caldo, or porridge)!The twist in this Chicken Arroz Caldo or lugaw recipe, aside from the Turmeric addition, is that I've pushed the "healthy" factor by using brown and red rice instead of white or sticky rice. Sounds good, hey? :)This dish is perfect for cold nights and rainy days. 😊
