Description

Rice porridge is a popular breakfast dish across many cultures, and for a good reason. It's warm, comforting, and filling. But not all rice porridge is created equal. Many traditional recipes use white rice, which is low in nutrition and high in processed carbs. This recipe uses brown rice, which is packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a much healthier option. Plus, we're adding some tasty toppings to make this dish even more nutritious and delicious.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of brown rice
  • 4 cups of water

  • 4 cardamom pods
  • 1/4 cup of raisins

  • 1/4 cup of coconut milk

Equipment

  • A medium-sized pot with a lid

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in cold water and drain.
  2. In a pot, add the rice, water, salt, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cover the pot with a lid.
  4. Simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture is thick and creamy.

Recipe Tips

To save time, you can cook the rice in a rice cooker or Instant Pot. Just follow the manufacturer's instructions for the amount of water and cooking time. You can also make a big batch of rice porridge and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just reheat it in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of water or milk to loosen it up. Experiment with different toppings to keep things interesting. Try chopped dates, dried apricots, or shredded coconut. Enjoy!
