  • 1/2 cup millet (foxtail or pearl millet recommended)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)

  • 1 small banana or apple, sliced
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon or cardamom

Method
 

  1. Place the millet in a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.
  2. Add the rinsed millet, water, milk, and salt to a medium saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered.
  5. Cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. If the porridge becomes too thick, add a little warm water or milk to adjust the texture.
  7. Once soft and creamy, remove from heat.
  8. Serve warm and add sweet or savory toppings as desired.
