Thari kanchi (Thari kaachiyathu)

This tharikanchi is very popular in Malappuram, Kozhikode and Kannur.”kadi”is famous in kasaragodu.Kadi is another type of drink making with flour,rice dumpling and banana

The classic tharikanchi is garnished with sauteed onion,but I don’t like the flavor of onion in desserts so I just omit that part.if you like the flavor of onion you can add sauteed onion (small red onion only)along with raisins and cashew nut.we are adding less quantity of semolina and the porridge should have a drinking consistency.and it need to serve hot.here is the recipe………
