- Let the mixture cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal thickens and the fruits soften.

- Sprinkle the finely chopped coriander leaves on top of each serving for a fresh, aromatic touch.

Tips:

- For added creaminess, you can substitute some or all of the water with milk or a non-dairy alternative such as almond milk or oat milk.

- Adjust the sweetness by adding more dates or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter oatmeal.

- To save time, you can chop the fruits the night before and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook.

- If you like a crunchier texture, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds as a topping.

- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg while cooking the oatmeal.
