Ingredients
- 2 cups millet grains
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup sugar, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (optional)
- 1/4 cup raisins or dried fruit (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk (optional, for a creamier pudding)
Method
- Rinse the millet, then put it in a pot with the water and salt. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes until tender and the water is absorbed.
- Fluff the millet with a fork and spread it out to cool completely so the grains stay separate.
- Stir the sugar and vanilla into the yogurt, if using, or into the milk; if using neither, dissolve the sugar and vanilla in 1/2 cup warm water.
- Fold the cooled millet and the raisins or dried fruit, if using, through the sweetened mixture.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes and serve cold.
