According to Ayurveda, starting your day with a sweet and nourishing breakfast is essential for maintaining balance in the body. The oats in this porridge are a great source of fiber and protein, which help to keep you full and satisfied throughout the morning. The cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves add a warm and comforting flavor to the porridge, while also promoting digestion and metabolism. The coconut shreds and raisins provide a boost of healthy fats and antioxidants, while the majhul dates act as a natural sweetener. And the cow's milk, which is considered to be a nourishing and grounding food, helps to balance out the other ingredients in the porridge.
