• 1. Clean the rice, soak 1 padi of rice in 1 padi of warm water for 15 minutes and drain the water.
• 2. Put 3 padis of clean water in a pot that can hold 5 padis of water.
• 3. Once the water starts to boil, add the rice and stir well. Cover the pot with a lid.
• 4. Few minutes later stir it again until the rice is 3/4th cooked and mix well again.
• 5. Cover the pot with wet cloth and drain the Kanji. Place on the warm stove, mix well for 5 minutes and keep aside.
• Note: * How to know if the rice is 3/4th cooked
• a.) the rice will be soft upon touching. b.)You can see white steam at the mouth of the pot.
• Note: **New rice has a tendency to overcook. To avoid this, soak the rice for 15 minutes in warm water (when steam starts to arise) then add it into the boiling water. Alternatively, before mixing the rice in plain water, add ? spoon of ghee to prevent it from overcooking.
