Hints/Tips
This recipe came about following a class on Indian food at Tony Tan's cooking school.
He had used poha, a beaten or rolled rice flake, that looks like rolled oats, to some extent. The dish that we ate was like a rice pudding made in the oven.
Although I have no food allergies or intolerances, that I am aware of, the thought crossed my mind that it should be easy enough to substitute the rolled oats for these poha flakes in my porridge, since there were still some sitting there.
The idea of using rice flakes is probably second nature to those individuals with gluten intolerance, but I decided to post the recipe anyway.
It is basically porridge with whatever you desire to add to it to suit your taste.
You can change the milk to skim milk, or just use water.
I used kithul treacle because it was there in the pantry.
Equally desirable at the start or finish of the day.
I can get 5kg of Poha from my local Asian supermarket for $7.00 - not sure how that compares with named brands of rice flakes in the supermarket/health food shops ??

Thermomixer, how do you think this would go without sweetener.. but with the dried fruit still?
My eldest can't have sugar/sweeteners as such and I'm over buying the Lowan brand rice porridge! :-\

Should be fine - not sure why no sugar - but blitzing some sultanas or raisins and adding with the other dried fruit will be more than enough sweetener.
I am happy to eat without sweeteners

i ahve my porridge with just a banana cooked into it for sweetening :)
