How to cook delicious porridge

Millet will be much tastier, more filling and tender if you cook the porridge in milk and water.

Milk is combined with water in a 1:1 ratio. You will get crumbly porridge if you take 2 cups of liquid per 1 cup of millet, and viscous if you take 4 cups of liquid per 1 cup of millet.

You can add salt and sugar to the millet, and after the liquid boils, add a little butter to add flavor and enhance the creamy taste.
