Potassium-Rich, No-Cook Bengali Porridge Recipe For Toddlers

Mornings are always rushed in every household. Wanting the family to eat healthy before they run off is something we all want. So I have a breakfast recipe which is not only filling but takes 5-7minutes to make. Perfect for those busy mornings!

Doodh Muri, soothing bowl of puffed rice liberally doused with milk, is the stuff Bengali childhoods are made of. My version has a contemporary twist that packs a punch for a healthy breakfast of champions. This recipe is one even picky eaters are sure to enjoy without too much of a fuss. You could also use mango and replace the milk with low-fat natural yoghurt. Go on and unleash the Bengali mother in you!

Ingredients (feeds 2)

• 1 Large Ripe Banana
• 1 Cup Almond Milk
• 1 Cup Brown Puffed Rice Cereal/ Murmure/ Muri
• Sprinkle of Cinnamon
• Light Brown Sugar, To Taste

Method

Reserve about an inch from the end of the banana, leaving the peel on and blend the rest of it with the almond milk. If you don’t have a blender you can just mash it with a fork.

Next, tip the puffed rice in. As it sinks in, sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar over it as per your taste.

Tip: Try this with natural low fat yoghurt too, for a change. It tastes really good.
