This morning I wasn't in the mood for just another bowl of Oatmeal. I've been eating the same breakfast before work every morning for almost 2 years now and I still love it. Every once in a while though, I crave other things. It was going to be a chilly day, the first of many this fall and winter and I also wanted something with nuts in it. I stared at the pantry and then the fridge and then the pantry again before I remembered one of my favorite breakfasts growing up was Doodh ki Sooji ... essentially a creamy milky porridge made with Semolina (Cream of Wheat).
Prep Time: 20 min

| Breakfast Cream o' Wheat w nuts and raisins! |
Ingredients (Serves 1):
- 1/4 cup Medium-Grain Semolina (Sooji)
- 1 tbsp Slivered Almonds
- 1 tbsp Crumbled Cashews
- 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 tbsp Raisins
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar (to taste)
- 1-2 tsp Maple Syrup (to drizzle on top)
- 1 and 1/4 cup Almond (or any non-dairy) Milk
Directions:
Heat a non-stick skillet or large sauce pan to medium high and add the semolina. Begin dry-roasting the semolina (with constant stirring using a rubber spatula) to aid in uniform roasting. As the semolina roasts, the color will deepen to a golden (about 10 min) and then go even deeper. As it begins to darken, add the nuts and raisins and dry roast those as well.
As the raisins plump up in the pan with heat, add the cardamom powder, give it all a nice toss and then add the milk, saving just a splash to drizzle on top. Allow everything to come to a boil, turn heat to low until it reaches the desired consistency, adding more milk if needed.
Add brown sugar, to taste, mix well. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with milk and maple syrup and enjoy!! Mmm Hmm good!!
