    Millets Porridge, A healthy No - sugar breakfast Porridge made with Millet flakes, Milk and dried fruits, and Nuts. Power food for a bright day start.

    Millet Porridge

    Millets Porridge is a healthy dish made with Millets, Milk, and then dried fruits and Nuts. I wanted to make this as a filling and guilt-free version and hence I made a no-sugar version.

    The Sweetness of the porridge is only from the dried fruits used and it was sufficient. You can add dried Apricots, Raisins, Dates for this reason.

    However, if you want you can add Palm Sugar, Jaggery, or even the country Sugar.

    I used Millet Flakes for these recipes. Millet Flakes are available for all the varieties. I used Kodo Millet Flakes in this recipe, but then any variety of flakes can be used.

    I used Milk in this recipe, You can replace milk with Soy Milk or almond milk for a Vegan version.

    What is Millet Flakes:

    Millet Flakes are prepared from Millets. Millet Flakes are nothing but Poha. It is the beaten Millets. It is very thin and gets cooked easily compared to Millets.

    What is Porridge:

    Porridge is typically a breakfast dish made with rice, grains, or any cereal made as a sweet or savory version.

    Porridges are healthy and keep us full for a long time. Also , we usually prepare it with ingredients that are rich in fiber.

    Why it is called Porridge :

    The word porridge is coined from the English term "doing Porridge" which means "being in Prison" it is prepared as food for the prisoners.

    Porridges are also easy to digest and considered healthy food. It is given for kids and toddlers.
