Step-by-Step Guide

Thoroughly rinse the millet, cover with cold water, and let it soak for 12 hours.

Step 3

Rinse the millet through a sieve under running water, transfer it to a bowl, pour boiling water over it, stir, let it sit for 1 minute, then drain the water and repeat once more. This removes the characteristic bitterness from the millet.

Step 5

Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and fibers.

Step 6

Cut the pumpkin into cubes, transfer to a pot or saucepan, add 1 cup of water, and cook until soft.

Step 7

Mash the pumpkin to the desired size or puree it, then add it to the millet.

Step 8

Add sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon.

Step 9

Pour in the milk, stir, and cook until the millet is done over low heat, stirring regularly.

Step 10

Serve with butter.
