Usually kanji/porridge is considered to be had only when you are sick and many of us just don't like to have such a bland food.But this version of kanji can be had as a full meal and it is easy to prepare too.We prepare this as neivediyam too during the Tamil month Aadi for Goddess Amman and also for Chitra Pournami which was yesterday.

Raw rice-1/2 cup
Yellow moong dal-1tbsp
Grated coconut-1/4 cup
Small onions-1/4 cup chopped finely
