Kanjivallam (Rice porridge)

I always prefer light diet in the morning. If you are just like me, then this will be a lovely diet that can be made soon too.

Kanjivallam is a kerala dish which is also called as malabar kanji. I am really not sure if this is the perfect authentic way it is made, but this is the way I love it. :)
