Tasty Oats and Sago Porridge Drink for Breakfast
Sri Lankans like to drink porridge for breakfast. It is called "Kanda" in Sinhala and is usually made from rice or barley. In this recipe, we're making a thick porridge drink by combining Oats and Sago. It is made rich and tasty using addition of Cashews and Raisins so you can chew on it while drinking.
Sago has a cooling effect on the body (reduces body heatyness) and Oats is good for weight loss. You can drink this as a meal replacement for breakfast even because you will feel full after drinking it.
