Ingredients
- 1 cup millet grains, rinsed
- 2 cups water, for cooking the millet
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 4 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus a little more for sprinkling
Method
- Put the millet and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the millet is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Spread the cooked millet out on a plate or tray and leave it to cool completely — about 15 minutes. Break up any clumps and pick out any grains that stayed hard.
- Put the yogurt in a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar and nutmeg until the sugar dissolves.
- Fold the cooled millet and the raisins through the yogurt until everything is evenly mixed. If it is very thick, loosen it with a spoonful of cold water.
- Cover and chill for at least 15 minutes so the millet softens a little more in the yogurt.
- Serve cold in small bowls with an extra pinch of nutmeg on top.
