Okro soup is ready to be served with Millet swallow (or any other choice of healthy swallow).

 

Method (for making the millet swallow)

  • Mix a little quantity of the millet flour with cold water to form light paste.
  • Turn on burner, place a clean pot on it and millet flour paste into it, keep stirring until the paste boils and thickens then slowly add in millet flour (the quantity you add depends on how light or heavy you like your swallow) and stir it in till you get your preferred consistency.
  • Keep stirring while it cooks for a little longer and becomes fluffy.

Millet flour is ready to be served!!!

FYI – If you will like a more stretchy feel for the millet swallow you can mix the millet flour with plantain/ wheat flour before cooking.
