This breakfast porridge can be made with many medicinal edible herbs, depending what is available in season. It is super easy to make, healthy and delicious. A typical dish from Sri Lanka.
Ingredients: A handful of penela kola and pol pala (why not try with dandelion and other green herbs that maybe available to you?), 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 cup water, 4 tbsp cooked unpolished red rice, salt.
Method: Remove the thick stalks from the herbs and blend the leaves and soft stalks with the water in a food processor for 30 seconds.
Add the cooked rice and the blended liquid into a pan and cook for two minutes, and the coconut milk and cook for another 30 seconds. Add salt to taste. Serve.

Hi @Karapincha Man, these are medicinal herbs with many benefits and are used in Traditional medicine. Penela is supposed to provide a lot of energy and pol pala is considered to purify the blood (de tox). As with any medicinal herbs, they must be consumed in moderation. Usually we have whatever herbs in season, so, naturally we will not have the same type of herb for a long period. For the Ayurvedic use you should consult an Ayurvedic doctor.
