Menthe Ganji

Menthe Ganji – a traditional Mangalorean delight! 🍲 This soothing fenugreek seeds porridge is specially prepared during Aati Amavasya, typically enjoyed after Paleda Kashaya to cool the body. I made the sweet version with jaggery, and it’s so easy to prepare! Perfect for a nourishing breakfast. 🌿💛
