What Is Semolina Porridge?

Semolina porridge is a creamy, slightly thick porridge made out of semolina flour or cream of wheat.

This is best enjoyed for breakfast and it has a creamy texture and consistency of pudding, and so it is also referred to as semolina pudding.

Semolina flour is usually made of durum wheat flour and its available as slight coarse textured or fine flour.

It is often known in different names and the preparations can vary too, though the most simple, popular and easy way to make semolina porridge is to cook the semolina flour along with milk & sugar.

Semolina porridge is popular in different cuisines and known in different names in different languages including rava kachiyathu (in South Indian cuisine), sooji porridge (in North Indian cuisine), mannaya kasha (in Russian cuisine) etc.

This semolina porridge recipe is a very popular in India where it is also known as sooji porridge.

One thing with semolina porridge is that unlike most other porridges, semolina porridge has a tendency to thicken so fast (other kind of porridge made from different grains like oats too thickens with time but semolina tends to thickens so fast and even form a cake like texture if you add little liquid).

This is because semolina flour cooks really fast and it absorbs much of the liquid left. 

You can see from the pictures below how the semolina porridge thickens if you are not adding extra milk.

      Hi Maria, You may use almond milk or coconut milk mixed with water to cook the porridge if you do not want to use milk. You may also replace the entire milk with water and add cinnamon, apples, raisins etc etc for more flavor. Please see this https://recipe-garden.com/easy-oatmeal-without-milk/ post for oatmeal without milk which will give you more tips, which can be used in making semolina porridge without milk as well. You may also consider using applesauce, vanilla etc for flavor without using milk in the porridge. Hope it helps!
