Tsampa Porridge Recipe

Tsampa Porridge Recipe

A comforting and nourishing bowl of Tsampa porridge can be made in just a few minutes—no cooking required! This traditional Tibetan staple is hearty, wholesome, and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

  • 50 g Traditional Tsampa 

  • 1 tsp brown sugar (or any sweetener of your choice)

  • 1 tsp butter or ghee (optional, for extra richness)

  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) hot water, tea, or milk of your choice

  • Fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Add tsampa to a bowl.

  2. Stir in brown sugar (or your chosen sweetener).

  3. If desired, mix in butter or ghee for a creamy texture and flavour.

  4. Pour over hot water, tea, or milk and stir well until it forms a smooth porridge.

  5. Top with your favourite fruits, nuts, or seeds—or enjoy it plain for a simple, traditional taste.

Notes

  • Adjust the liquid depending on your preferred texture: add less for a thicker porridge or more for a lighter one.

  • Tsampa is versatile—try it with sweet toppings like berries and honey, or go savory with salt and a drizzle of sesame oil.
