How to prepare rice flour porridge?
Porridge can be prepared in various ways. One of the best ways is to pour the milk you have prepared into a pot, then add water and rice flour to the milk and place it on low heat.
At this time, you should stir the ingredients in the pot frequently, because if you neglect it for a moment, the flour may not dissolve completely in the milk and turn into a ball. After the milk boils, you should stir it more. Then, after a few minutes, remove the pot from the heat, add sugar and rose water to the ingredients in the pot, and put it back on the heat. Continue the previous step and stir the ingredients well until the porridge reaches the required consistency.
After this step, you should pay attention to the consistency of the porridge when you remove it from the stove, which is neither too stiff nor too loose, because when you put the porridge in the refrigerator and cool it, it will become stiff.
After removing from the heat, pour the porridge into the desired dishes. If you want cold porridge, put it in the refrigerator, but you should note that if you immediately remove it from the heat and put it in the refrigerator, there is a possibility that the porridge will become watery later.
So, if you like cold porridge, first let it reach a moderate temperature at home and then put it in the refrigerator. But if you like warm and semi-cold porridge, put it outside the refrigerator until it reaches a moderate temperature and then eat.
It should also be noted that consuming porridge after a meal has harmful side effects such as increased triglycerides and weight gain.
