Roast organic peanut powder, corn flour, whole wheat, and soya beans in a skillet over medium low heat until golden brown and fragrant, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Allow the roasted ingredients to cool down before blending them into a fine powder using a dry ingredient grinder.

Sift the ground ingredients through a fine sieve to remove gritty bits, blending any excess gritty parts again until smooth.

Mix the finely ground ingredients with corn flour and peanut powder until thoroughly combined.

Transfer the mixture back to the skillet and roast on very low heat while stirring continuously until the color becomes a lighter shade of brown.

Transfer the roasted mixture to a flat surface or tray to cool off, then store in an airtight container.

To prepare the porridge, scoop some of the roasted mixture into a pot, adding water gradually while whisking to create a smooth paste.

Add a pinch of salt and set on medium high heat, stirring continuously until it solidifies to your desired thickness.

Add brown sugar to taste and stir until well combined, then serve with evaporated milk.
