- Now remove half of the porridge to another bowl for making savory version.Let it cool.In the mean time,add grated jaggery to the remaining half of the porridge and boil well in low flame.Jaggery melts and mixes with porridge.Color of porridge changes to golden yellow based on the color of jaggery.After the jaggery is melted,allow the porridge to boil for 2 minutes to remove the raw smell of jaggery.Lastly add the crushed cardamom seeds.Mix well and add little milk before serving.Mix well n serve ! ( Do not add milk when the porridge is boiling.It will curdle the mixture.So add boiled milk only after u switch off the flame)
