Ramadan Recipe -Special Traditional Iftar Delight-Famous Thari Kanji

As Ramadan begins, many turn to traditional recipes for Iftar. Thari Kanji, a sweet and energy-boosting drink, is a staple in many households.
Made with semolina, this delightful beverage is flavored with:

  • Sweetness: A touch of sugar for a delightful taste.
  • Savory hint: A pinch of salt adds depth to the flavor profile.
  • Jewel-like additions: Cashews, raisins, and caramelized onions add a textural and visual treat.

Here's how to prepare this heartwarming drink:

  1. Gently heat the thin coconut milk: In a medium pan, bring it to a simmer.
  2. Semolina time: Slowly add the semolina while constantly stirring to prevent lumps and sticking.
  3. Sweetness and a hint of savory: Add sugar and a pinch of salt to the simmering mixture. Continue stirring until the semolina cooks well.
  4. Richness boosts: Pour in the thick coconut milk and heat it gently, avoiding a full boil.
  5. Desired consistency: Aim for a slightly thick, drinkable texture.
  6. Cardamom magic: A sprinkle of cardamom powder adds a touch of warmth and aroma.
  7. Caramelized delight: In a separate pan, heat ghee and saute the sliced onions until lightly browned.
  8. Nutty and sweet additions: Fry the cashews until golden brown, then add the raisins and let them puff up.
  9. Bringing it together: Pour the caramelized onions, cashews, and raisins over the prepared Thari Kanji and stir well.

Enjoy this warm and inviting Thari Kanji as you break your fast and celebrate Ramadan!

Additional notes:

  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat coconut milk.
  • Experiment with other dried fruits like chopped dates or figs for a delightful variation.
