180 g millet food granules for degue
300 ml drinking water for hydration
700 g plain pasteurized milk yogurt

Buy millet food granules for degue and follow the hydration and cooking instructions on their packaging. The 300 ml of water is a reserve.

Cook the granules according to the product until completely tender, then separate the grains.

Before mixing with pasteurized yogurt, cool the grains using a method suitable for your product; do not ferment the mixture at room temperature.

Incorporate the sugar and yogurt into the cooled grains, then divide into 6 portions. This sheet uses store-bought yogurt, not homemade curdled milk.
