    Firstly, in a clay pot take 2 cup leftover rice and break lumps with your hand. Make sure to prepare this at night, and have the ganji for morning breakfast.

## Notes

* Firstly, you can add rice water in place of hot water for a rich flavour.

* Also, do not make the ganji with just milk as it thickens once the curd is set.

* Additionally, adding onion and chilli, makes the Ganji Annam flavourful.

* Finally, **Chaddannam** or **Fermented Curd Rice Recipe** tastes great with pickles.
