Wash the millet thoroughly and soak overnight.

Boil water in a big saucepan. Put the millet into a sieve and use your hands to roll the millet until you are able to form sizeable granules

When the water is hot, pour the tiny balls of millet into a colander and cover with a lid.

Cover the colander tightly and allow steam from the hot water to soften the granules.

When the tiny granules become soft and cooked, pour the whole content into a basin and allow it to cool.

Mix fresh cow milk with water for a nice texture. Note: Do not use too much water.

Fill a bowl, mug, or serving glass halfway with the granules, and add your milk and sugar.
