- Add the milk, chopped dates and cardamom powder. Cook over low heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge is smooth and creamy. Do not let it boil vigorously.
- If the porridge becomes too thick, add a splash of warm milk and stir until it reaches a spoonable consistency. Serve warm.
Recipe Notes
Make-Ahead Tip
The porridge is best served fresh, but the rajgira flour can be measured in advance and the dates can be chopped and refrigerated. If reheating cooked porridge, loosen it with a little warm milk.Office Tiffin Tip
Pack the porridge in a leak-proof insulated container. It can also be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, depending on your preference.Quick Swap
For a slightly different texture, add 1-2 tablespoons of extra warm milk at the end if you prefer a thinner porridge. The dates provide the sweetness in the base recipe.Vrat Note
