Breakfast Polenta is a delicious treat for my friends who cannot tolerate gluten. It can be vegan if you use soy, rice, or a nut milk. Any leftovers can be used to make French Toast; better yet, make a double batch so that you can have breakfast polenta one day and French Toast another :O!
Either polenta (coarsely ground corn) or regular cornmeal may be used to make the polenta. Dried fruits such as blueberries, cherries and strawberries work well also.
Cornmeal (corn "rava, suji or sooji") and Cornflour are available in Indian markets.
