Semolina Breakfast Porridge with Banana and Cashews
Warm, comforting, and softly sweet, this semolina porridge is inspired by the flavors of classic suji halwa and made with coarse semolina. The texture is creamy with a gentle bite, finished with banana and cashews for a cozy breakfast feel.
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!
⅔ Cup Semolina
Then add the butter and stir-cook for a short time.
½ Stick Butter
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.
2 Cups Milk
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.
1 Banana
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.
