A roadside Kambu Koozh / Kambang Kool (Pearl Millet Porridge / Bajra Porridge) Stall at Surandai, Tamil Nadu.

Kambu Koozh is rich in proteins and fiber, it helps in weight loss as it keeps us filler for a longer time. Kambu Koozh is also known to cool the body, so it is considered a perfect drink during summer. The semi-solid koozh is liquefied for consumption by adding water and salt and, optionally, buttermilk, onion, curry leaves and coriander leaves. It is served with side dishes including green chilis, raw onion, pickles and mango spiced with red chili pepper.
