Note

1.Porridge should be prepared with the homemade rava and preferably not with the rava bought from the shops.

2.Clay pots are the best to prepare porridge. Do not use aluminium vessels at all.

3. For little millet and barnyard millet quantity of water should be lessened.

4. Method of preparing porridge with any siridhanya is the same.

5. Because the porridge is fermented to make Ambali, vegetables should not be added while cooking.

6. Before consuming this porridge we can add cumin powder, pepper powder or carom powder.

7. If you wish to consume it  hot, heat it using a double boiler method i.e., heat water in a large bowl and place the bowl of porrridge in it. It should not be heated beyond lukewarm level as beneficial bacteria will get destroyed.

8. Salt should not be added to porridge before fermentation. Add salt to porridge just before consuming it..
