Instructions:
1. Cook the Semolina Porridge:
- Begin by heating a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the semolina (sooji), water, and milk to the pan. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Allow the mixture to cook until it thickens into a smooth porridge consistency. This should take about 8–10 minutes.
2. Flavor the Porridge:
- Once the semolina porridge reaches the desired thickness, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
- Stir in honey to taste, followed by vanilla extract and cinnamon powder. These flavors will infuse the porridge with a lovely sweetness and warmth.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Base:
- While the porridge cools, take your multigrain digestive biscuits and break them into small pieces.
- Set them aside for layering in your breakfast bowl.
4. Assemble the Breakfast Bowl:
- To assemble your Semolina Porridge Fruit & Nut Breakfast Bowl, select a bowl or jar of your choice.
- Add the broken multigrain digestive biscuits to the bottom of the bowl.
- Spoon half of the cooled semolina porridge on top of the biscuits, spreading it evenly.
- Layer the semolina porridge with your choice of fresh, seasonal fruits. Strawberries work wonderfully here, but feel free to get creative with kiwi, bananas, or any fruit you have on hand.
5. Add Nuts for Crunch:
- Top the porridge and fruits with slivered almonds and pistachios. These nuts not only add a delightful crunch but also provide a boost of healthy fats and protein.
6. Chill and Serve:
- Once assembled, refrigerate the bowl for at least two hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives the dish a cool, refreshing texture.
- Serve the Semolina Porridge Fruit & Nut Breakfast Bowl chilled, and enjoy the harmony of sweet, nutty, and fruity flavors in each bite.
Tips for Variation:
- Fruit Options: Use whatever seasonal fruits you have available. Fresh berries, apples, bananas, or even tropical fruits like mango and papaya are all great choices.
- Make it Vegan: To make this breakfast bowl dairy-free, substitute the milk with almond milk or coconut milk. You can also skip the honey or use a plant-based sweetener.
- Crunch Factor: If you prefer more crunch, consider adding granola or toasted oats along with the nuts for added texture.
