About Pazhaya kanji

Pazhaya Kanji, a traditional dish from Kerala, India, is a simple yet nutritious fermented rice porridge. Made by soaking cooked rice overnight in water, it undergoes natural fermentation, enhancing its probiotic content and promoting gut health. It is typically consumed as a breakfast meal or a cooling, hydrating dish during hot weather. Packed with essential minerals, B vitamins, and dietary fiber, Pazhaya Kanji supports digestion and boosts energy. Often paired with accompaniments like buttermilk, pickle, or green chilies, it provides a balanced intake of carbohydrates and electrolytes. Low in fat and highly versatile, it can be adjusted to various dietary needs. However, those with sensitivities to fermentation or individuals looking to minimize sodium (if pickles are used) should consume it mindfully. This affordable, wholesome food reflects the heritage of sustainable eating and is cherished for its simplicity and wellness benefits.
