Main Ingredients
- 1 Sweet Pumpkin
- 3 Tbsp Oatmeal Flour
- 600ml Water
Seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Salt to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the sweet pumpkin thoroughly. Place it in the microwave and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it’s slightly softened. This makes peeling much easier.
Step 2
Carefully peel the skin off the sweet pumpkin once it’s cool enough to handle. The skin should come off easily while it’s still warm.
Step 3
Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from the inside of the pumpkin. Ensure it’s clean for the best texture.
Step 4
Mash the peeled and deseeded sweet pumpkin using a fork or a mashing tool until it’s smooth. Aim for a consistent texture without large lumps.
Step 5
In a pot, combine the mashed sweet pumpkin with 600ml of water. Stir well to mix. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a little more water.
Step 6
Place the pot over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Once the porridge starts boiling, reduce the heat to low. Add 3 tablespoons of oatmeal flour, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the oatmeal to soften and thicken the porridge.
Step 8
Finally, season with a pinch of salt to taste. The natural sweetness of the pumpkin is usually enough, so just a little salt is needed to enhance the flavor. Stir well and serve warm in bowls. Enjoy your delicious homemade pumpkin oatmeal porridge!
