Cook the Porridge:
Begin by placing a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of ragi flour, 2 tablespoons of instant oats, 1/8 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of milk to the pan. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined. Add honey to taste for sweetness. -
Thicken the Mixture:
Allow the mixture to cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove the pan from the heat and set the porridge aside to cool. -
Assemble the Breakfast Bowl:
While the porridge cools, take a small jar or a bowl to assemble your breakfast. Begin by adding the broken multigrain digestive ragi biscuits to the bottom of the jar. -
Layer the Porridge:
Once the porridge has cooled slightly, spoon it over the crumbled biscuits, creating a smooth layer. -
Add Toppings:
Slice the bananas and arrange them over the porridge. Then, sprinkle the chopped almonds (badam) and pistachios over the top for a delightful crunch and extra flavor. -
