⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • For the Esh:
  • 2 cups of millet flour or cornmeal
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (optional)
  • Fresh herbs or spices for flavoring (optional, such as coriander or thyme)

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

Slowly whisk in the millet flour or cornmeal, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Add the salt and stir well.

Cook the Esh

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

Add Optional Ingredients

If desired, stir in vegetable oil or butter for added richness.

You can also add fresh herbs or spices to enhance the flavor, such as coriander or thyme.

Serve

Once the Esh has thickened and the grains are fully cooked, remove it from heat.

Enjoy your meal!
