Rice Kanji

Rice kanji (or congee) is a staple of Ramadan. This is made everyday for breaking the fast - usually not plain, but with beef or chicken added.
 
Ingredients
1. ¾ tin red rice
2. 3 - 4 pods garlic
3. 1 ½" cinnamon stick
4. ½" ginger root, chopped
5. ¼ tsp dill seeds
6. 5 - 7 curry leaves
7. 2" pandan leaf
8. 3 cups water
9. 2 cups thick coconut milk
10. Salt to taste
 
Serves 6
Method
1. Boil rice, garlic, cinnamon, ginger, dill seeds, curry leaves and pandan leaf with 3 cups of water.
2. When rice is boiled, mash it with a wooden spoon.
3. Add the coconut milk and salt and bring to boil again. If too thick, then add a little diluted coconut milk. Remove from fire before kanji over-boils.
 

 

Note:
1 Tin is a general measure used by Sri Lankans. This holds 250 g of grain.
