Prepare the millet dough: In a bowl, combine millet flour with 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a firm but pliable dough forms. Add more water if needed. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Form the dumplings: Roll small portions of the dough into bite-sized balls or flatten them slightly.

Prepare the Saka Saka sauce: Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Add the chopped spinach, chopped okra, 1/2 tsp salt, and the optional bouillon cube to the saucepan. Stir well.

Add about 1 cup of water (or enough to cover the vegetables). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the spinach has wilted.

For a smoother sauce, you can blend the mixture using an immersion blender or transfer it to a regular blender. Be careful when blending hot liquids.

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the millet dumplings to the simmering sauce. Ensure they are submerged.

Cover and cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the millet dumplings are cooked through and firm. The sauce will thicken due to the okra.

Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve the millet dumplings hot in the Saka Saka sauce.
