Poor old semolina has earned itself a bit of a bad reputation over the years, mostly due to British schools of yesteryear insisting on serving it as a frogspawn-style pudding. However, the humble grain has been busy serving people well in other parts of the world, like India, where this breakfast sooji (Hindi for ‘semolina’) hails from.

Semolina is a flour made from ground durum wheat, and it’s rich in fibre, magnesium and folate – three nutrients that help keep your heart healthy. (As well as assisting your gut, fibre can lower cholesterol and reduce blood pressure.) This nutrient-dense grain is also packed with protein, helping to keep you fuller for longer. It’s a great breakfast food.

Coconut adds fibre and fat, helping your body better absorb fat-soluble nutrients (vitamins A, D, E and K), and the cashew nut butter topping provides further fibre and energy-boosting nutrients like magnesium, copper and manganese.

Make this veggie dish vegan by swapping ghee for coconut oil, using plant milk instead of dairy milk and omitting the honey – try agave or coconut nectar.
