Kambu Thyri Sadam is a filling, soothing meal made by blending cooked pearl millet with curd and tempered spices. Kambu Thayir Sadam is healthy & an alternate meal to the regular curd rice in a party lunch menu and for day to day consumption.
I always stock up Kambu / Pearl Millet / Bajra when it gets over especially now as its summer. Kambu Koozh is regular in our house this summer.Few months back when we dined at Anandas, I saw the todays special menu having kambu curd rice and I was like wow thats a great idea….So I made kambu thayir sadam few days back and we enjoyed it, it is sure a good option to our regular curd rice.
I actually wanted to post another method of how to cook kambu but this time I ended up cooking in cooker but usually amma cooks it in a thick bottomed vessel, as it takes time I prefer the pressure cooking way but sure to post that method soon, atleast in the next kambu recipe for sure 🙂
