Semolina Porridge / Thari Kachiyathu
#Thari Kachiyathu
Thari Kanji / Thari Kachiyathu / Rava Porridge is one of my favorite Iftar Dish. It is a light sweetened hot drink made from milk with very little semolina and seasoned with nuts and raisins. Traditionally had while breaking the fast in the evening, it is supposed to settle the stomach. Semolina / Reva is to be easily digestible and is given to kids as porridge. Try it once and I am sure you all will like it very much. You can make this during winter, here in South Africa its winter now and we enjoyed this hot sweet porridge. Here is recipe for you all to try.

There are many types of clam found all over the world. Some suit steaming, others are opened and served raw (like oysters), others can be used in stews. Here we steamed and stuffed the clam meat with coconut inside the rice balls. Clams are high in many vitamins and minerals including selenium, manganese, vitamin C, B12, copper, phosphorous and riboflavin. Clams have an Amino Acid score of 106,its a complete / high quality protein, essential for building and repairing muscles and tissue.

It contains omega -3 fatty acids. So try to include clams in your diet whenever possible. Here is stuffed clam meat recipe for you all to try.
