My attempts at making millet just never seemed to work out... I was on the verge of declaring that I didn't like millet! But this is almost a perfect way to make it. I toast the millet first in a dry pan, because I think it gives it a better flavor and texture. I was worried that the listed proportions would leave the millet soupy, so I used 3/4 cup of water to 1/4 cup of millet. It simmered for a lot longer than 15 minutes -- closer to half an hour -- but after that, it was perfect! -
Yummy!!! Try substituting 1/2 cup water with coconut milk for extra flavour

Husband and I have been married for a whole year and counting. I work for a local municipality as a GIS Technician (Geographic Information Systems- GIS- its like Google earth on steroids). I've got lots of cook books mostly so that I can flip through them and then make something up. I don't do realllly well at following recipe directions, I like to alter them and make stuff up as I go. Occasionally it doesn't turn out too well but most of the time I do OK.
I have a great passion for things spatially related, which is how I ended up a Geographer. I think we should all be able to find our own state on a U.S. map- at a minimum. Also that everyone should be able to cook at least a few simple meals not only to sustain themselves but you do need to occasionally impress someone.
