Millet Porridge

1️⃣ Soak to Soften

Place your millet in a bowl and cover with water.
Leave it to soak overnight.

This step is key — it softens the grain, making it easier to digest and helping it cook into a naturally creamy texture rather than remaining grainy.

2️⃣ Rinse & Begin Cooking

In the morning, rinse the millet well and drain.

Add it to a small saucepan with your milk of choice.
Place on a gentle to medium heat and bring to a soft boil.

Once it begins to bubble, lower the heat and let it simmer.

3️⃣ Cook Slowly into Creaminess

Allow the millet to cook for around 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick.

As it softens, you’ll notice the grains begin to break down into a porridge-like consistency.

If it becomes too thick, simply add a splash of water or extra milk to loosen it to your desired texture.

4️⃣ Infuse with Spice & Sweetness

Add:

• Cardamom

• A pinch of salt

• Your chosen sweetener

Stir gently and let the flavours infuse for a few more minutes. This is where the porridge becomes warming, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.

5️⃣ Finish with Nourishment

Pour into a bowl while warm.

Add:

• 1 tsp ghee for richness and grounding
  (or coconut oil for a vegan option)

• Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top.
