Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon or to taste
- Water
- 4 cups
- Cornmeal or millet flour
- 2 cups
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Gradually incorporate the cornmeal or millet flour into the boiling water, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and continue stirring persistently as the mixture begins to thicken, forming a soft, creamy consistency.
- Season the mixture with salt, mixing it in thoroughly.
- Cover the pot and allow the dhido to cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Once the dhido has cooked through and achieved a porridge-like consistency, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve your warm, comforting dhido with a side of your favorite vegetables or lentils. A classic combination is dhido with gundruk (fermented leafy greens) or masoor dal (red lentils).
