Preparing cereals
Before cooking millet porridge in water, the main ingredient should be thoroughly processed. To do this, it is recommended to clean the cereal from any existing debris, and then place it in a fine sieve and wash thoroughly until the water is completely transparent. If desired, you can place the millet in advance in a deep bowl and pour cooled boiling water over it.
In this state, the cereal should be kept for several hours. During this time, the product will swell a little, so you will need much less time to cook it thermally. By the way, this procedure will also ensure that your porridge retains the maximum of nutrients and vitamins. After all, everyone knows that under the influence of heat treatment, minerals and other components literally disappear from products.

Cooking porridge on the stove
Cooking millet porridge in water does not take much time. In this regard, it can be done at least every day. For this, it is better to use a saucepan with a thick bottom. Otherwise, your dish may burn. Thus, the processed cereal needs to be placed in a bowl and then filled with the required amount of water. After thoroughly mixing the ingredients, they should be placed on the fire and brought to a boil. After the liquid begins to boil, add a little salt to the pan, cover with a lid and cook until the water has evaporated.
It should be especially noted that the presented method of preparing a dietary dish may well serve as an answer to the question of how to cook crumbly millet porridge. If you want to make yourself a more viscous breakfast, then it is advisable to increase the amount of water slightly (by 1-2 glasses).

Proper serving to the table
The finished dish must be removed from the stove, mixed thoroughly with a large spoon, and then tightly closed and kept in this state for about half an hour. After this, the porridge must be distributed into plates and served warm. If this dish is intended for dietary nutrition, then adding butter to it is highly undesirable. If you want to get a more satisfying and nutritious breakfast, then cooking fat can still be used, but immediately after turning off the stove, since the product must completely melt.
