Millet porridge in the microwave
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This is a classic recipe for millet porridge. You can modify it by adding extra ingredients—milk, butter, dried fruits, or candied fruits. The porridge can be made savory or sweet, depending on what you're serving it with and for whom. This porridge can be served during fasting periods if you substitute butter with vegetable oil. On regular days, it can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, accompanied by any meat dish or sauce. The finished dish can now be served at the table.
