SOJJI /ARISI SUNDAL(சொஜ்ஜி /அரிசி சுண்டல்)

Sojji is a very easy dish. We can call it as sister of our normal Upma :)

In our house it is very common and prepared once in a week or twice.

It uses the raw rice and green gram as main ingredients.

Other traditional sojji recipes:

• Puli sundal/Puli sojji
• Karamani payaru Sojji

I have already posted this recipe in tamil in my another blog kuzhaliyinpagirvugal.
