The exotic flavours of coconut, cardamom and nutmeg give this cereal an unexpected flavorful twist. Try adding sliced bananas or chopped mangos on top for an extra tropical sensation. Millet is an easy- to- prepare, gluten free grain that is easily digestible and tastes great too.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup whole millet
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup grated unsweetened coconut
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch freshly grated nutmeg, or pinch ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Steps/Methods:
In a dry skillet, toast millet over medium-low heat, tossing constantly, until fragrant and slightly golden-brown. Put the grains in a plastic or paper bag, and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground, or place them in a coffee grinder and grind. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add millet, coconut, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Immediately reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes or until cereal is tender, checking halfway through cooking to make sure water has not all been absorbed (If it has, add another tablespoon or two of water).
