Overall Benefits of the Porridge

The above porridge is a hearty nourishing meal that can be served as a breakfast, lunch or brunch. You can just boil the Ashwagandha in the Oat Milk and strain to create a lovely nourishing milky drink that you can sweeten with honey and add cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg. From the milky Ashwagandha drink you can make a succulent filling porridge which is exactly what I did. When I first tasted the milky Ashwagandha drink I thought this is just like the base of the Carribean porridge I had in my childhood. I thought the milky Ashwagandha would be nice as a base to a corn porridge. It inspired me to create the below Ashwagandha and Corn Porridge and my mom and children loved it. It is a meal that gives you energy that lasts, and it is filling and hearty.

Ingredients

2 tbsp Ashwagandha Root
1 can of Sweetcorn
1 cup of Oat milk/Cows milk/Coconut Milk etc
A few pieces of a Cinnamon Stick or 1tsp Cinnamon Powder/Powdered Nutmeg or Ginger 
Condense Milk
Flour
Water

Other ingredients you could use include flavoured syrups, your favourite warming spices. I have Ginger and Vanilla  syrup shown in the image but I didn't use those.

Add 2 table spoons of Ashwagandha root to 1 cup of Oat milk or preferred in a saucepan.
Add 1 and a half cups of water to the milk and Ashwagandha.
Bring to the point just before it boils and turn it down to low heat.
I added x 5, 1cm pieces of Cinnamon to the liquid add nutmeg powder. Allow to simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. (Or simmer for 20-30 minutes)
Strain the Ashwagangha infused Oat/milk.
Rinse pan and pour the infused milk back into the pan.
Add the sweetcorn and sweetened condense milk (condense milk is optional) and cook for 5-10 minutes until sweetcorn is soft.
Add more sweetened Condense Milk to preferred taste (optional) if needed.
Put 2-4 tablespoons of plain flour into 1 third of a cup of water. Add the water to the flour whilst stirring simultaneously to create a thickner. Pour the thickner into the porridge and then (optional) add to blender and blend.
Pour the porridge back into pan and cook on a low heat for further 5 minutes.

Why infusing it in oat milk is effective: The fat content in oat milk helps extract ashwagandha’s fat-soluble compounds, enhancing absorption.
