ADVERTISEMENTS
Here is a vegetable soup using rice starch. Usually I cook rice in pressure cooker and for a change I cooked it in a pan. I did not want to drain and waste the rice starch (excess water that is left while boiling rice). We call this rice starch as Kanji in Tamil.
In my childhood I used to drink this rice starch or kanji with salt. This contains most of the rice nutrients. I prepared a simple soup with rice starch that was so tasty, filling and energetic to me. This contains many vegetables in addition to rice starch.
