About Sathu Maavu Kanji
Sathu Maavu Kanji or Koozh is one of the nutritious breakfast you can have especially best for growing kids. You can make it as koozh to a even more thick spoonable consitency or as a slightly runny kanji as I’ve shown here or as per your preference.
I love both the sweet and salt versions but if given a choice then I will surely opt for the sweet version. As a kid I refused to drink these porridges but now having grown up and realising the health benefits I have started consuming this porridge regularly now and I am liking it to.
Mittu is far better I would say, she doesn’t complain much so I feed her with this porridge atleast 3-4 days per week especially during the school days for breakfast. As her school bus comes very early it is really hard to make her eat an elaborate breakfast so this porridge comes to rescue.

Notes
- Always use a heavy bottomed vessel to cook the koozh else it will stick to the bottom. I used my glass cookware. You can use a heavy bottomed sauce pan.
- Always use a whisk to avoid lumps.
- You can replace cane sugar with jaggery or white sugar too. But my neighbour suggested to add karupatti and I’ve tried that too.
- The consistency is purely your choice, make it a bit thick as spoonable consitency or runny like drinking consistency.
- The cooking time depends on the cookware too, mine got cooked in 5 mins.
- While cooking keep in sim and cook else lumps may form easily. Keep mixing with a laddle / whisk.
- The koozh thickens with time so adjust water / milk / buttermilk accordingly.
- Make sure you cool down the koozh for 10 mins atleast before adding buttermilk / milk.
- In the morning hassle I usually have a batch of boiled, cooled milk to add it to koozh so that we need not wait.
