Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook millet porridge with pumpkin in a saucepan on the stove? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. To prepare porridge, you can use pumpkin, either fresh or frozen. Choose millet that is yellow and pure, without impurities. Milk can be of any fat content. The amount of sugar can be slightly adjusted in one direction or another to suit your taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Place the millet in a dry frying pan and place on the fire. Heat over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. This must be done to remove bitterness from the cereal.

Separately, pour water into a saucepan, put on fire and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils, add the prepared millet to it. Stir. Cook over low heat until the millet absorbs all the water. This usually takes 7-10 minutes.

Peel fresh pumpkin and cut into cubes. Immediately place the frozen one in a ladle. Add sugar and a couple of tablespoons of water to the pumpkin. Heat the pumpkin, stirring occasionally.
