Take your sugar out for a spin on a bowl of millet porridge, an African treat. Particularly popular in central Africa, you can make this dish as sweet as you like (although the characteristic whole grain/bitter flavor will remain strong in millet) – or you can leave it unsweetened for a more savory dish.

Instructions
- Add the millet flour, ginger, and sugar to a bowl. Whisk in the water until a smooth batter forms.
- Add the batter to a small pot. Click on the heat and pour on 1 1/2 cups of milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened. You must keep whisking this to avoid lumps and sticking – it works just like making custard or pudding. Add the rest of the milk if it gets too thick.
- Serve with sugar and cinnamon on top.
