Do you cook porridge during Ramadhan? If so, care to share your favorite recipe?

Question

I intend to cook porridge only during Ramadan, to save $$ and also in the effort to lose those extra pounds ;) what is your local favorites? I would love to try out new recipes each day from fellow muslims all over the world..

Answer 1

Well, in my family, we don't use oat in any other dish except oats!

Get some milk, boil it, throw the oats in, with sugar, let it all boil down to a gloopy, oaty mixture. Heaven!

Answer 2

by porridge, you mean oatmeal?

Here in SaudiArabia.. we use oats as a thickner in soups.. and we do have a soup exclusive to Ramadan made with oatmeal.. we boil up bits of lamb or beef with a bit of onion, garlic, some arabic mixed spices, some pureed tomato till the meat is about to fall apart tender, then add a couple heaping tablespoons of oats to the broth.. then let it boil till you cant see the oats anymore.. it comes out a very rich tasty thick soup...

we also serve something called Harees.. which isnt really the rolled oats.. its more of the whole grain.. you boil whole grain wheat for about 2 hours along with water, salt, some boullion cubes, a chopped tomatoe and some lamb meat or chicken.. water choice of meat.. till the whole thing is super soft. then before serving.. you remove all the bones, and beat the mixture with a huge wooden spoon till it becomes sticky and thick.. you serve in in a flat dish.. and spreed some ghee (whole milk butter fat) on the top... its a traditional saudi dish during Ramadan...

I mean the english put sugar on it for goodness sakes ewwww sugar on Porridge how very dare theyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! lol

another idea!

if you don't know what to cook just do what my bro did last time in ramadan.

he mixed every vegetable and every kind of bread(even expired one), every kind of masala(1 spoon each)and some egg then mix it in mixer and put the mixture in fry pan fry with lemonade and fry it in oil.

that is what my 15 yr old bro did ,it was Delicious we ate it,but after finishing the whole thing he told us what he did(with all expired food and uncooked eggs) we all tryed to bring this thing out(but failed).

but seriously it was delecious.
