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.
