Ingredients

  • 1 cup roasted corn flour
  • 1/4 cup roasted millet flour
  • 1/4 cup roasted soybean flour
  • 3 cups water or milk
  • Sugar or honey (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Groundnut paste or evaporated milk (optional, for added creaminess)

Instructions

  • Start by roasting the corn, millet, and soybeans separately until they are golden brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely before grinding.
  • Once cooled, grind the roasted corn, millet, and soybeans separately into fine powders using a blender or a grain mill.
  • In a bowl, combine the roasted corn flour, millet flour, and soybean flour in the ratios specified or as desired. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  • In a pot, bring the water or milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  • Gradually sprinkle the mixed flour into the boiling liquid while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Keep stirring until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • If desired, add sugar or honey to sweeten the porridge to taste. You can also incorporate groundnut paste or evaporated milk for added richness and creaminess.

    • Once the porridge reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

    Transfer the Tom Brown porridge into serving bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of additional sugar or groundnut paste, if desired.

    Serve the porridge warm and enjoy its comforting flavor and nourishing goodness.
