Perfect porridge of oatmeal & apple

Oatmeal is something that I have been feeding my little girl from the time she started having solid food. She prefers it only as porridge , no salted oatmeal at all. The other day I was thinking of what to make for her to eat after her sports activity class in the evening to make her tummy full with some healthy twist at the same time. Then I saw one of my container half full of oats and in the refrigerator there was one single apple lying in the fruit basket. And milk as usual is always available in the house. So I made this apple oatmeal porridge. Both the daddy and the girl loved it so much that a small portion of it only left for me :P




Ingredients:

Oats : 1 cup (that was my measurement according to my requirement. You can adjust as per your serving requirement)
Milk: 2 cups
One whole apple
Honey: 3 tablespoon
one pinch of ilaichi powder for that extra flavour


Method:

Boil the milk in a deep bottom pan. Once the milk started getting boiling add a pinch of ilaichi powder. Now add the oats and stir well. Cook the oats for some time. Grate the apple (keep one whole portion for garnishing). Now add these grated apple into the oat milk mixture and stir continuously. Slowly the grated apple will start dissolving . Now pour in the honey into it and again stir well. You can use sugar instead of honey. Soon You will see the mixture getting a thick creamy texture and now the porridge is ready to serve.

Transfer to a bowl and garnish with few apple wedges.. Simple oats porridge is anyways healthy but the twist was ,the addition of apple made it more healthier .
