Mix & prepare the cornmeal In a bowl, mix: • 1 cup cornmeal • 1 cup water Stir it into a smooth slurry — this prevents lumps.

Heat the pot In a saucepan, bring to a boil: • 1 cup water • 2 cups milk • A pinch of salt • (Optional) Lemon peel

Add the cornmeal mixture Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour in the cornmeal slurry while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Cook the porridge Simmer on low for 15–20 minutes, stirring often until thick and creamy. If it gets too thick, add a little milk or water.

Add flavoring Stir in: • Condensed milk • Vanilla • Cinnamon • Nutmeg • (Optional) Sugar Taste and adjust sweetness.

6️⃣ Serve Serve hot with: • Hard dough bread • Crackers • Sliced banana

Tips ✔ Use fine cornmeal for the smoothest porridge ✔ Coconut milk makes it richer ✔ Add condensed milk last so it doesn’t burn ✔ Let it simmer long enough to remove the raw taste of cornmeal
