What each ingredient does

- Forms the thickened base of the porridge once mixed and heated.
- Warm milk
- Provides the liquid and body that the paste is thinned and cooked into.
The step that matters
Gradually add the warm milk while stirring continuously. Adding liquid slowly while stirring keeps the starch-based paste dispersed, so it does not clump into lumps as it thickens.
