Kanji is a type of porridge which we normally used to have during ramadhan after breaking our fast. In South India it's very common to have this type of kanji. Almost in every mosque they prepare this and people have it after breaking their fast. This is very light and keeps you satisfied.
Normally this is prepared using rice, vegetables, lentils and meat. In this recipe i replaced rice with oats and sago, which was really good. This would be so good to have immediately after breaking fast.
