Patipati: The Gambian Rice Porridge You Eat With Sweetened Lemon Yogurt

Dada's FoodCrave Kitchen walks through making patipati, a traditional Gambian rice porridge that's sweet, creamy, and deeply comforting. The recipe involves soaking rice, cooking it down with butter, vanilla, and sugar, then mashing it to a thick porridge consistency — served alongside tangy sweetened Greek yogurt with lemon as a substitute for the traditional 'saul.' Perfect for breakfast, supper, or a satisfying late-night meal.
