In a saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, water, and milk (if using). Add salt.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Rinsing the millet removes any bitterness. Using milk will make the porridge richer and creamier. - 2
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the millet is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Cook until the porridge reaches a thick, but still pourable consistency. - 3
Pour the cooked millet porridge into a shallow dish or baking pan. Spread it evenly and let it cool completely. For faster cooling, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.

Once firm, cut the millet porridge into squares or desired shapes.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Aim for pieces that are about 1-2 cm thick. - 5
Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the millet pieces into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Use enough fat to get a good crisp on the porridge. - 6
Fry the millet pieces for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Flip gently to avoid breaking the pieces. - 7
Remove the fried millet pieces from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
