    TL;DR

    Semolina porridge—also known as suji halwa in India—is a porridge cooked with milk and sugar and flavored with other ingredients such as nuts, spices, and fresh and dried fruits.

    It's nutritious and keeps your stomach full. You can have a semolina porridge for breakfast today, and tomorrow you may enjoy a Swiss Bircher Muesli or homemade jam on whole wheat bread or a bowl full of fruits.

    This recipe calls for coarse semolina. It's common across Europe and India. Coarse semolina is not finely ground wheat semolina.

    You'll find coarse semolina commonly sold in Asian stores or European food themed supermarket shelves.

    Coarse semolina tastes great, and it's filling, making it the perfect breakfast food!

    Ingredients

    • ⅔ Cup Semolina
    • ½ Stick Butter ghee
    • 2 Cups Milk
    • pinch Salt
    • ¼ Cups Brown Sugar
    • ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon Ground
    • ⅔ Cup Cashews
    • 1 Banana
    US - Metric

    Instructions

    • Place the semolina into a pan and dry roast it for a few minutes until the color changes into a golden hue. Keep on stirring frequently as well or shake the pan or the semolina will burn!

    • Continue to add in half the amount of the milk first. Mix it all and then add the remaining milk. Keep on low to medium heat.

    • Throw in the salt, brown sugar and cinnamon powder. Mix well and let it cook for a minute or two before you add the cashew nuts (whole or in rough pieces).
      pinch Salt, ¼ Cups Brown Sugar, ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon Ground, ⅔ Cup Cashews
    • The semolina porridge cooks fast, and you will be looking for something like a liquid consistency, so only cook it for a few minutes. Then take it from the heat and add the banana slices before serving the semolina breakfast porridge hot. The porridge thickens as it cools.

    Notes

    You can also prepare this the night before and keep in the fridge over night if you prefer your semolina porridge cold and less liquid and harder in consistency.
