2. Soak the millet for 2 or 3 days until it is swollen.

4. Pound the millet not too finely.
5. Boil water and add the millet flour. Stir well until the mixture cooks and is smooth. Cook until done.

Use maize, sorghum, finger millet or wheat instead of millet. The flour can be boiled in milk instead of in water.
