Let's cook.
Combine rolled oats, milk, ground cardamom, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Stir in the chopped dates and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Top each serving with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of honey, if desired. Serve warm.
