Millet porridge is one of the most traditional dishes of Russian cuisine. Millet is millet cereal, and our ancestors began cultivating millet among the first cereals. Hearty and tasty porridge made from this product was available, and it was prepared in families of different incomes. It was made with fruits and vegetables, with meat and mushrooms, with milk or water. Thanks to the variety of recipes for this dish, it never got boring and was always welcome on the table. Modern housewives prepare dishes from millet much less often than their grandmothers and great-grandmothers. However, the reason is not that the current generation is disappointed in the taste of millet or doubts its beneficial properties. Most often, inexperienced cooks simply do not know how to cook millet porridge so that it is boiled, but does not turn into mush. Cooking millet porridge has certain subtleties, but in fact this process is not complicated. Having studied the features of cooking this dish, even a novice housewife can feed it to her loved ones every day.

Cooking features

Millet porridge is prepared quite simply, but if you don’t know a few important points, the result may not meet the chef’s expectations.

  • Millet contains a small amount of fat, but it is such that during long-term storage it gives the product a sour-bitter taste. This is especially noticeable when millet is stored in a damp room. It is highly undesirable to use millet that has expired or has been stored incorrectly for cooking porridge. When choosing a product in a store, pay attention to the date of its release and try to purchase one that was produced relatively recently.
  • Culinary experts are unanimous in the opinion that millet, which has a bright color, makes porridge more tasty and crumbly, not to mention the fact that it looks more appetizing.
  • Before cooking, millet cereals must be sorted and washed well. Fill it with water, rub the grains together with your hand, and drain the water. Similar manipulations are repeated until the drained water becomes clear. The millet is washed with hot water for the last time. If this is not done, the porridge may turn out bitter and not crumbly enough.
  • Millet porridge can be cooked in water or milk, but you need to know that Millet does not boil in milk. For this reason, the porridge is first boiled in water until half cooked, and then heated milk is added and the dish is cooked until cooked.
  • If you want to cook with millet crumbly porridge, the cereal is poured into already boiling water. To prepare viscous porridge, you can immediately pour the prepared millet with water, and then place the pan on the stove.
  • To prevent the porridge from burning, it is recommended to cook it in an enamel pan with a double or at least a thick bottom. This rule also applies to millet porridge. You can also cook it in a pot, slow cooker or double boiler. Experts say that in a double boiler the food turns out to be especially crumbly.
  • Cooking time for millet porridge depends on the cooking method. Usually it is boiled for 20–30 minutes, after which it is simmered in the oven for another 30–60 minutes or steamed by wrapping the pan. To avoid mistakes, you should rely on the recommendations accompanying a specific recipe.

Millet porridge is tasty on its own, but it is often prepared with the addition of fresh or dried fruits, meat, mushrooms, and vegetables. The most popular is pumpkin porridge with millet. Having mastered the basic principles of preparing this dish, you will be able to cook it with different additives, focusing on your own taste.

Proportions of cereal and liquid

Any porridge has its own optimal proportions of cereal and liquid. Only if you follow them will you be able to get the expected result.

  • To prepare crumbly millet porridge in water, the ratio is 1:2. If the porridge is prepared with milk, then it is preferable to use a ratio of 1:3, that is, for milk porridge the liquid is needed 1.5 times more.
  • If you want to cook viscous porridge, it is recommended to add 3 parts water or 4–4.5 parts milk to 1 part cereal.
  • Liquid millet porridge is prepared from 1 part of cereal and at least 5 parts of liquid.
  • When using a multicooker, take 3 cups of water per glass of millet to cook crumbly porridge. If you want to prepare milk porridge, then add 2 more glasses of milk. You can, on the contrary, take 2 parts water and 3 parts milk for 1 part cereal.
  • The proportion 1:5 is also used when preparing millet porridge in a double boiler.

The presence of fruits and vegetables in the recipe may affect the optimal amount of liquid required for preparing porridge, but only slightly.

Important! Due to the high content of fiber and vitamin PP in millet, porridge made from it helps to normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. For good functioning of the heart muscle and vascular tone, magnesium and potassium are needed; they are also contained in large quantities in millet. Phosphorus and silicon, found in millet cereals, are needed for the beauty of skin and hair. Copper, which is also found in millet, prevents premature aging of the body.

A contraindication to eating millet porridge in large quantities is increased acidity, but in moderate quantities this food will not harm in this case either.

Answer from Agnieszka[guru]
Cup


Answer from First class[guru]
Maximum glass (200 ml). But it’s better to dilute the milk with water, so the millet boils better. Although this is optional, children can cook with milk alone.


Answer from speedster[guru]
One to four. And it is right.


Answer from Nikolai[guru]
from two tablespoons to two glasses.
Remember, cereals cook in milk twice as long, so it is customary to boil them in water and then dilute them with milk to the desired viscosity. If you like porridge with milk (not milk), then the crumbly porridge is cooked in water (see cookbook) and then served with butter and milk. The milk is boiled and served hot. But there are also lovers of cold milk for porridge, especially buckwheat.


Answer from Polyakova Elena[guru]
My husband cooks very tasty millet porridge. It has a proportion of a glass of cut millet (250 g), 1 liter of milk and about. 5 liters of cream. The subtlety of the preparation is that the porridge is cooked on the stove for 30 minutes with continuous stirring, then the pan is removed from the pan, wrapped in newspapers and kept under a pillow for 1 hour. All this sounds crazy, but the porridge turns out wonderful. Even I eat, although I never ate any cereal, I just couldn’t stand it. And I eat this one.


Answer from Natalia_56[guru]
The ratio when cooking millet with liquid
1:4
Millet porridge is very healthy, contains many microelements, but... practically, all its usefulness comes to naught if millet is cooked in milk.
Therefore, you need to boil the millet in water, and add milk to the boiled millet, or even better, when the millet is boiled in water and pour hot milk into the plate.


Answer from For_liliy[guru]
no more than a glass


Answer from Katya Katya[guru]
1 glass of millet, 4 glasses of milk. Even 4.5 glasses of milk, since the porridge will still steep

How to cook millet porridge with milk

Everyone knows about the benefits of millet porridge. There are many ways to prepare it, so you can easily please both adults and children. For lovers of “sweets,” millet porridge with pumpkin and fruit is suitable, and for those who like more hearty dishes, it can be prepared with meat or lard. You can cook it in milk or water. Any porridge will be tasty if you know how to prepare it correctly.

Required Products:

Millet cereal

Milk or water

A little butter

A little sugar

Few raisins

A little honey.

Dishes: clay pot

Cooking instructions

1. Millet cereals can be cooked with whole milk or diluted with water (half). First you need to decide what kind of porridge you want to cook:

Crumbly,

Thick,

Viscous

Quite thin, like a “messy porridge”.

This determines how much liquid should be used during cooking. The calculation of the amount of cereal and liquid will be as follows: for a glass of cereal for crumbly porridge we take one and a half glasses of milk (or water), for viscous porridge - a little more than 2 glasses, and for liquid porridge - 3.5 glasses.

2. Wash the cereal. If you notice debris in it, then there is no need to sort it out before washing, because the grains are too small. Running water will help with this: small debris and dust will float up and be removed along with the drain. It’s just not advisable to use strong water pressure, so as not to wash out half of the cereal along with unnecessary particles.

3. Next step. If you have enough time, it is better to soak the millet. An hour or two will be enough. If there is little free time for soaking, you can simply scald the cereal with boiling water before cooking. This procedure helps to steam it and improves the taste of the future porridge.

4. Boil the millet until half cooked, and do not forget to lightly salt the water. During this time, preheat the oven at the same time.

5. Now take a pot, grease it with oil and fill it with semi-finished cereal. Add a little honey, raisins and sugar to it. After this, pour in hot milk (if you don’t like it with milk, add water). Then the full pot will have to sit in the oven over low heat for an hour so that its contents will sweat.

6. After the time has passed, remove the finished millet porridge from the oven. After placing the portion on a plate, you can add butter if desired.

Another simple recipe for millet porridge with milk

Necessary: 1 glass of milk, 1 glass of millet, 1 tbsp. lie sugar, salt, 50 g butter.

1. The cereal must be rinsed well under running water. Then place two small pans on the stove (one of them should have a thick bottom). Pour water (about 1 liter) into the first one, fill the second one (with a thick bottom) with milk and add salt and sugar.

2. Pour the cooked millet into boiling water. The cereal is cooked over low heat and requires constant stirring. When you notice that the grains have begun to boil, you need to carefully drain the water and rinse the millet with hot water. This way you will remove the bitterness from it.

3. Almost finished cereal should be poured into boiling milk, cover tightly with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Open the lid occasionally. When you notice that the milk has almost been absorbed, place pieces of butter on top. Now let the porridge stand for about ten minutes, after which it can be removed from the heat.

4. All that remains is to wrap the pan with thick towels and wait half an hour. Dried apricots, raisins, and other dried fruits (excluding prunes) are added to the finished dish if desired.

Now you know how to cook millet porridge with milk, you can add more than one recipe to your cookbook.

Note!

Millet porridge always works better if it is cooked in a bowl with a thick bottom or in a cauldron.

Useful tips

* Porridge with pre-cooked millet does not cause heartburn.

* Before boiling the cereal, you should stir it regularly.

* To prevent the porridge from becoming bitter, the millet must be fresh.

1. The cereal must be rinsed well under running water. Then place two small pans on the stove (one of them should have a thick bottom). Pour water (about 1 liter) into the first one, fill the second one (with a thick bottom) with milk and add salt and sugar.

2. Pour the cooked millet into boiling water. The cereal is cooked over low heat and requires constant stirring. When you notice that the grains have begun to boil, you need to carefully drain the water and rinse the millet with hot water. This way you will remove the bitterness from it.

3. Almost finished cereal should be poured into boiling milk, cover tightly with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Open the lid occasionally. When you notice that the milk has almost been absorbed, place pieces of butter on top. Now let the porridge stand for about ten minutes, after which it can be removed from the heat.

4. All that remains is to wrap the pan with thick towels and wait half an hour. Dried apricots, raisins, and other dried fruits (excluding prunes) are added to the finished dish if desired.
