Since it&#8217;s summer we are having long fasting hours, here sun sets at 9 pm. For me observing the fast is not a big deal, but as soon as I break the fast and eat something my stomach feels blotted. I have been experiencing this for the past few days and I have not been able to eat much. Only one dish that I can possibly consume without much problem is rice porridge or kanji. This is a must have dish for me during Ramadan. Also, by having porridge my body is well hydrated. There are different types of porridge that&#8217;s famous in my hometown, one of the porridges that&#8217;s often made in my family is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/creamy-rice-soup-or-ramadan-kanji\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creamy Rice Soup or Ramadan Kanji<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To make the porridge even more rich and flavorful, I added chicken to it. Along with chicken and other spices, the porridge tasted delicious and a couple of bowls of this soup will provide me with enough energy during Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Chicken Rice Kanji Cooking Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chicken and Rice Porridge- Ramadan Chicken Kanji\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8-K1xD6d4VY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
