Millet - millet seeds cleaned from the outer shell. Millet porridge is not only tasty, but also a healthy dish.
Details
Millet is a source of several groups of vitamins, as well as potassium, magnesium and zinc.
However, millet porridge can lose its advantages and become not very appetizing.
The same thing happens in cases where the porridge was improperly prepared.
A small, at first glance, mistake can spoil the porridge. It may be related to the temperature of the water into which the cereal is thrown.
In what water should you throw millet?
It is desirable that the groats fall into water with a high temperature.
If the water is cold, the millet particles will stick together. As a result, the porridge will be too viscous.
But after adding groats to boiling water, such a problem is not observed. The dish turns out tasty and crumbly.
What is important to remember
When added to boiling water, millet should not be boiled for a long time. 15 minutes is enough. At the same time, the fire should be weak.
Experienced housewives recommend adding a little butter to the pan.
There is another aspect. Sometimes it makes sense to cook millet by throwing the groats into cold water. You need to do this if you plan to make a spreadable porridge.
