Recipe Notes

• The tampering is the key step that brings in taste to the porridge so do not omit it.
• If you wish to add garlic then they can also be added while pressure cooking.
• While reheating do not add more water and make the porridge. Since we are going to add the tampering mixture a semi solid consistency would taste great.
• If the porridge gets watery heat it for few mins until the water disappears.
• Corn meal can be replaced by regular sooji as well.
• I have used groundnut oil for tampering.
