Instructions
-
Prepare the Semolina Porridge:
- Heat a saucepan on medium heat and add the semolina (sooji), water, and milk.
- Stir continuously to combine the ingredients and cook until a thick porridge consistency is achieved. This will take approximately 7-10 minutes. Stir often to prevent the porridge from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once cooked, remove the porridge from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
-
-
Flavor the Porridge:
- Once the porridge has cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon powder for added flavor.
- Add honey to taste, adjusting the sweetness as per your preference.
-
Prepare the Digestive Biscuits:
- Break the multigrain digestive biscuits into smaller, bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
-
Assemble the Breakfast Bowl:
- In a serving bowl or jar of your choice, layer the broken biscuits at the bottom.
- Spoon half of the semolina porridge over the biscuit layer, spreading it evenly.
- Add a layer of fresh strawberries or any seasonal fruits like sliced kiwi or banana on top of the porridge.
- Sprinkle the slivered almonds and pistachios over the fruit layer for a delightful crunch.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the assembled breakfast bowl for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the porridge to set.
- Serve the Semolina Porridge Fruit & Nut Breakfast Bowl cold for a refreshing and satisfying breakfast.
