Pumpkin porridge cooked in water
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Pumpkin porridge is usually made with rice or millet. Why not try making it with dumplings? By the way, you don't have to use rice flour for the dumplings—corn flour or regular wheat flour works perfectly as well. To prepare pumpkin porridge with water, we'll also need brown sugar, which you can replace with honey for an even tastier result. See the recipe below. Serve hot.
