🥣 Soft millet porridge cooked in water with a little sugar.

Ingredients

120 g finely milled millet flour, preferably finger millet
1 litre water including 250 ml cold water for mixing
30 g sugar
1 g salt

Preparation

Whisk flour into 250 ml cold water until smooth.

Boil remaining 750 ml water in a thick-bottomed pan. Pour in flour mixture slowly while whisking.

Simmer gently 15–20 minutes, stirring all over the base frequently, until no raw-flour taste or hard particles remain. Add sugar and salt and simmer 2 minutes more.

Use a little extra hot water only if needed for a spoonable flowing texture. Cool 5 minutes, stir and divide into 4 bowls. This is unfermented porridge without milk and is not an infant-feeding formula. Total 32 minutes.
