Prepare the starter: In a clean bowl or jar, combine the 2 cups of sorghum flour with 2 cups of lukewarm water (around 30-35°C / 85-95°F). Stir well until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Cover the bowl loosely with a clean cloth or lid (do not seal tightly to allow air circulation) and leave it in a warm place to ferment for 12-18 hours, or until it develops a pleasant sour aroma and slightly bubbly texture. The longer it ferments, the sourer it will become.
⏱️ 12-18 hours - 2
Cook the porridge: Once fermented, transfer the sorghum starter to a medium saucepan. Add the remaining 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt, if using. Whisk continuously over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming and to ensure even cooking. The porridge will begin to thicken.
⏱️ 5-10 minutes - 3
Simmer until cooked: Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 25-30 minutes. The porridge should become thick and creamy, with a smooth consistency. Taste a small amount to ensure the raw flour taste is gone. If it's still too thin, continue cooking for a few more minutes. If it becomes too thick, you can stir in a little more hot water.
⏱️ 25-30 minutes - 4
Serve: Ladle the hot Ting into bowls. Sweeten to taste with sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener. Ting can be served warm as a hearty breakfast or chilled as a refreshing meal.
