Add 3 heaped tablespoons of millet flour (about 3/4 cup) into a glass jar or bowl.

Pour in 1 cup of water and stir until the millet flour is fully combined with the water, ensuring there are no lumps.

Place a pot over medium-high flame and add in 1 and 1/2 cups of water.

Pour the millet flour mixture into the pot and stir with a wooden spatula until the pot comes to a boil, which takes around a minute.

As the pot comes to a boil, continue stirring to avoid lumps as the millet flour thickens.

Once boiling, add in half a cup of milk and stir it into the porridge.

If the porridge is still thick, add in another half cup of milk, making a total of 1 cup of milk, adjusting according to preference.

Add in 3 tablespoons of sugar (or honey) and stir to combine.

Let the porridge cook on low flame for around 3 to 4 minutes.

After about 5 minutes, turn off the flame and serve the porridge in a bowl.

Top the porridge with crushed peanuts, dried fruits, or butter as desired.
