Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, add 2 tbsp of warm water and add in the turmeric powder, cardamom powder, ginger powder, and peepramul powder ensuring there are no lumps. Set aside.
  2. Place 1 1/2 cups of water in a stove safe pot.
  3. Remove pits from dates, mash them by hand into the water. Place pot on stove on medium heat, and allow to boil. (omit this step if using honey instead of dates)
  4. While (date) water is heating, in a separate pot, add ghee and heat on medium-low.
  5. Once the ghee has melted, add in the millet flour.
  6. Stir continuously ensuring that flour doesn’t burn (turn brown). Flour should become fragrant and light/fluffy in texture. At this time, turn heat to low.
  7. By now, the date water should be boiling. Carefully strain water into pot with millet mixture and immediately whisk the mixture. Continue whisking on medium heat.
  8. Add in the spice blend mixture at this time. Continue to whisk so that clumps don’t form. The porridge should thicken in 2-3 minutes.
  9. Once thickened, turn off stove.
  10. Pour into serving bowl and garnish with slivered almonds (or almond flour).
  11. Serve warm.
