Coconut Rice Porridge

This recipe is great for balancing Vata/Pitta as it is cooling, sweet and unctious.

You will need:

  • ½ cup of white basmati rice (you can also use risotto rice for a more porridge like consistency)

  • ½ cup of coconut milk

  • 1 tsp of cinnamon

  • 1 tsp of jaggery (raw cane sugar)

Method

  • Cook the rice with the cinnamon and water until it becomes well cooked and very soft.

  • When the rice grains are soft, add the coconut milk and stir continuously until the milk boils. 

  • As per your taste you can add a little molasses, dried fruits and flaked nuts to make this a well rounded nutritious breakfast that will help to pacify vata/pitta.
