Stir the mixture continuously until it starts bubbling to prevent sticking.

Cook for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once thickened, add sweetened condensed milk to taste, starting with about 2 tablespoons.

If the porridge is too thick, add a little more water and stir until smooth.

Continue to cook on low heat, stirring to ensure everything is well combined and heated through.

Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh fruit.
