Black Kavuni Porridge Mix – 500g

Black kavuni was once reserved for royalty in the Chettinad region, and it is still the most expensive rice in this range – which is why this porridge costs a little more than the others. The deep purple colour comes from anthocyanins, the same antioxidant group found in berries.

Roasted and ground with pepper and cumin. It cooks to a striking dark purple, which children tend to find far more interesting than an ordinary bowl of kanji.

Add half a cup of the mix to four cups of water, stir well so no lumps form, and boil for about fifteen minutes.
