Corn Wheat Porridge / CornMeal Wheat Gruel is a Healthy and filling option for breakfast or even dinner. It keeps us full and energetic for the whole day. This is a comforting dish. Corn meal has a creamy texture that gives a creamy taste to the porridge. It is considered to be a meal by itself. So this porridge can even substitute a meal during a fast. Keeps hunger pangs at bay. What I like about it is that it’s so filling and very energising making it ideal for a pick me up in the breakfast. I served with porridge with Palak Pakoda

Corn Wheat Porridge / CornMeal Wheat Gruel is a filling and healthy porridge.
Ingredients
- ½ Cup CornMeal / Corn Rava / Scrambled Corn

For Tampering
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Cumin Seeds
- 1 Big Onion
- Fistful Curry Leaves
- 1 Green Chillis
Instructions
- Wash and clean the ingredients. Add Wheat, Corn and Moong dal into a pressure cooker. Add Water and salt to taste. Cook in medium flame for 4 whistles. Switch off the flame and allow pressure to release on its own.
- Open the Pressure Cooker. If required add more water and heat it again. Heat oil in another pan. Add in jeera and allow it to splutter. Add in chopped onion.
- Saute the onion until glossy. Add in the curry leaves and green chillis and saute them.
- Add in the tampered mixture into the Porridge. Mix them gently.

Notes
- The tampering is the key step that brings in taste to the porridge so do not omit it.
- If you wish to add garlic then they can also be added while pressure cooking.
- While reheating do not add more water and make the porridge. Since we are going to add the tampering mixture a semi solid consistency would taste great.
- If the porridge gets watery heat it for few mins until the water disappears.
- Corn meal can be replaced by regular sooji as well.
- I have used groundnut oil for tampering.
