#funwithflours - This is a traditional East African style porridge made of millet flour. I have used sorghum flour to prepare this healthy and nutritious breakfast recipe. Maize flour too can be added. It can be made both sweet and savoury. This is the former version.

Very popular in Kenya, it is an ultimate comfort food for the locals. It is very simple and easy to prepare and has very few ingredients. So do give it a try and enjoy this amazing first meal to keep you going the whole day. Happy Cooking !!!
