Mor Kazhi or Kali is a very simple, delicious and nutritious porridge. Porridges are typically perceived to be sweet and made from oats or semolina. But in More Kazhi, rice flour when combined with butter milk, ginger and green chilly along with the seasoning gives a warm yet spicy feel to the palate.
