    Wow, we tried your recipe and it was fantastic. We did find that around 200g of rice were needed to achieve a good consistency.

    Thanks for your recipe.

    I made this today and it might become one of my go-to porridge recipes. Next time I won’t include fenugreek tho bc it actually made the porridge real bitter and I had to put in a heck load of vegetables to get the taste out. I put corn and carrots, and chinese parsley and it lessen somewhat. thank you for the recipe!
