Notes
Soaking the dal+rice saves the cooking time as well as we will get the soft and creamy texture of the Nombu Kanji.
you can add vegetables of your choice.
you can use noi arisi instead of seeraga samba rice. But taste won't be same.
Not add more water while cooking because excess water will come out and place become mess.
