Banana Apple Porridge

A healthy duet of grains like broken wheat and oats with fruits like banana and apples, this porridge is flavoursome and truly tempting. Sautéing the broken wheat and oats before cooking chases away the raw smell, while the cinnamon powder and fruits enhance the flavour and aroma further. The Banana and Apple Porridge is an ideal way to start a morning, as it not only gives a lot of energy but is also brimming with calcium, protein, fibre, etc.
