Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup oatmeal
   

2. 1 grated apple
   

3. 1/4 cup raisins
   

4. 1 dried fig (and/or date)
   

5. 1/4 cup chopped almonds (or any other kind of nut that is suitable for your constitution)
   

6. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
   

7. 1/6 teaspoon cardamom
   

Mix all the ingredients with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup non fat or soy milk in a saucepan. Simmer on a low heat until it thickens. You can add the chopped almonds just before serving.

This recipe is by my friend and student Meb Inan. I substituted the sour green apples with the sweet ones and instead of adding extra sweetener I preferred using dried fruits instead. Try both and see which one you like!
