How to cook semolina porridge without lumps? Chef’s recipe
Follow these rules to get only the most pleasant gastronomic experience.
Manna porridge is one of the most popular and favorite dishes in Russia. But why do lumps often form during cooking?
It’s all about the peculiarities of semolina. It absorbs liquid very quickly, so if it is added too much or not stirred, lumps will form. In addition, semolina contains gluten – gluten, which leads to the formation of lumps.
To avoid this problem, you need to add the product to the pot gradually and constantly stir the porridge so that it does not have time to harden. You can also use higher grade semolina, which contains less gluten and absorbs liquid better.
