๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Rwina with Water- Basic Healthy recipe

Rwina is the flour that is basically made of roasted whole wheat. So many other roasted ingredients can be added to the whole wheat to make the flour richer. I already shared a recipe of Rwina flour made of roasted whole wheat, chickpea and lentils (please check recipe here https://www.myexcellentdegustations.com/%f0%9f%87%a9%f0%9f%87%bf-whole-wheat-chickpea-and-lentil-flour-rwina/).
Algerians make Rwina flour ahead of time and keep it in the pantry for future use. Itโ€™s is a very rich and healthy flour that can be used in so many recipes. I am sharing today a very basic recipe. This dish can be served for breakfast or any time of the day.

  • I didnโ€™t add salt in my recipe because my Rwina flour is already salted, but if you feel the need to add more salt, you can do it.
