This finger millet porridge is a streetfood, we also prepare similar porridge for breakfast at home. We accidentally came across on this amazing health food sold early morning in the streets of avenue road, Bangalore for walkers in that area.
This street food vendor sells two millet porridges prepared with sorghum and finger millet along with greens soup. The soup is prepared with locally grown herbs, greens and spices which is healthy for digestion.

This is a hot porridge which is good to consume after morning walk, its very easy to prepare, healthy and quick breakfast. The Vendor literally has named it as arogya rakshak (Quality Health).
