Add cold water into a jug.

Add natural Greek yogurt into the water and blend using a mufraga until smooth and lump-free.

Add 1 cup of flour to the blended yogurt and water mixture and continue blending until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a pot, ensuring it sits at the bottom.

Blend another cup of flour with water and a scoop of yogurt and add it to the pot.

Turn on the heat and start stirring the mixture.

Add a little salt to taste and some cooking oil (optional: can substitute with margarine or butter).

Continue stirring to prevent lumps until the flour fully boils.

If the mixture thickens too much, add a little water to lighten it, being careful not to add too much.

Once it starts boiling, add 1.5 cups of milk and continue stirring.

Add 0.75 cups of sugar (adjust according to taste).

Continue stirring until the porridge comes to a boil, then turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
