    I would love to make this myself, where can I get the millet? Is there one that you’d recommend?

      Some Indian supermarkets have them. Ive also bought Bob's Red Mill brand from Amazon in the past. The grains are lighter in color though.

    This brings back profound memories of Wajir Barracks, Teshie, home of the 48th Field Engineers, where my father was the RSM from 1970-1977. The lady who used to sell the Hausa Koko, at the market (now named General Mensa-Wood market) husband was a drill instructor at Military Academy and Training School., MATS. By 8am it will all be gone. Very delicious.
    Again, I’m very impressed with your first class presentation. You make us very proud.
    Thank you!!!

    1st time coming across your channel. I am from Namibia. Millet is a staple food for people from the northern part of Namibia. I have never seen the porridge done this way before. We ferment the grains, dry it and then mill it. From the flour we can then make a soft or thick/hard porridge. Now that I am living in CA, where the grains are expensive and milling services may be difficult to get. I will try out your method. It looks convenient for my situation.

    • @KwankyewaasKitchen
      @KwankyewaasKitchen  3 роки тому +6

      Actually in Ghana, we also drain and send the grains to the mill.But once it is done milling, it is mixed with water and strained just like I did. Since we don't have access to that kind of mill, we just add water and blend, so yes, it is convenient for our situation too.

This is the porridge we used to take for breakfast growing up, we normally add milk and sugar but l like this one with ginger and coco. If you live in IK try the Asian shops, ugandan shops or Holland and Barratts. Very rich in iron. Thank you.

      Use the spices u find blend them with the flour and water dont put alot flour because the flour in market is usually thick then let it ferment maybe three days fermenting also thins out the millet flour ... that science... pour water out on a pot boil and mix well that fermenting mix and stir until it forms to avoid clumps. In Kenya we use millet flour directly so it thickens alot if fermented its thinner but still thick.👩🏽‍🍳
