Fresh Figs Cornmeal Porridge – Gluten Free
About:
Cinnamon spiced cornmeal porridge with fresh figs is perfect for the cold wintery days and the colours remind me of the autumn months. I love porridge, even living in the hot summer dessert, I still crave a delicious comforting porridge which gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
This dish is inspired by Kesari bath, an Indian sweet breakfast.
Health Benefits:
Cornmeal is ground dried corn, which is added to certain recipes like bread and pancakes. It can also be cooked to make polenta or grits. It’s also a good alternative to flour for people who have a gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. The food supplies a wealth of certain nutrients, too.
Cornmeal has a good carbohydrate. These types of whole grains contain complex carbs, fiber and other nutrients, and they can help prevent diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
