In a large bowl, whisk together the millet flour and cassava flour.

Continue to stir and 'mingle' the mixture over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until it forms a cohesive ball that pulls away from the sides of the pot. Add more hot water, a little at a time, if the mixture becomes too dry.
