Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the pumpkin and cut it into small pieces, each about 3–4 cm in size.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil, add the pieces of pumpkin, and cook them until tender. This will take about 15–20 minutes.

Step 3

Blend the cooked pumpkin in a blender, adding oil and cinnamon, until smooth.

Step 4

Rinse the millet under running water, then cover it with water and bring to a boil. After boiling, drain the water and rinse the grains again.

Step 5

Return the rinsed millet to the pot, add water in a 1:2 ratio, add a pinch of salt and sugar, bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Step 6

After 10 minutes, when the water is level with the grains, add the pumpkin puree and raisins, stir, cover the pot with a lid, and remove it from the heat. Let the dish sit for 30 minutes to finish cooking.
