Prepare the Rice:
Begin by ensuring your leftover rice is soft and well-cooked. If the rice is a bit dry, mash it well before proceeding. To do this, add a few tablespoons of milk (not listed in the ingredient list) to the rice and warm it up on low heat. Stir regularly and mash the rice as you go. This will take about 2 minutes. -
Add the Spices and Milk:
Once the rice is softened, add the milk, salt, and the cinnamon powder, dry ginger powder, and nutmeg powder. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the rice. -
Sweeten the Porridge:
Add the honey and mix well. The honey not only sweetens the porridge but also enhances its creamy texture. Make sure all the ingredients are fully incorporated. -
Serve:
Pour the spiced rice porridge into serving bowls. Top with a handful of mixed fruits and nuts of your choice. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a little more cinnamon powder on top for that perfect finishing touch. -
Enjoy:
Serve the Spiced Rice Breakfast Porridge immediately while it’s still warm and enjoy the comforting, flavorful start to your day.
