Kenyan Spiced Millet Porridge (Uji) - Dairy-Free

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Millet Flour
• 4 cups Water
• 1 cup Coconut Milk
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon Powder
• 0.25 tsp Cardamom Powder
• 0.125 tsp Nutmeg Powder
• 0.125 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, whisk together the 0.5 cup Millet Flour and 1 cup of water until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
2. 2Add the remaining 3 cups of water and the 1 cup of Coconut Milk to the saucepan. Stir everything together well.
3. 3Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent the millet flour from sticking to the bottom of the pan. This should take about 5-8 minutes.
4. 4Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low. Let the porridge simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. The porridge is ready when it has thickened to your desired consistency, similar to a thick gravy.
5. 5Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 2 tbsp Sugar, 0.5 tsp Cinnamon Powder, 0.25 tsp Cardamom Powder, 0.125 tsp Nutmeg Powder, and 0.125 tsp Salt until fully combined. Taste the porridge and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
6. 6Serve the Kenyan Spiced Millet Porridge hot immediately.
