Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 1/2 cups (84g) puffed millet (or other puffed grains); 1/2 cup (60g) roughly chopped pecans; 1/3 cup (40g) sliced almonds; 1 3/4 teaspoons ground turmeric; 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom; 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (75g) lightly packed light brown sugar; 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (32g) unsalted butter; 1/3 cup (111g) glucose (or honey, brown rice syrup, or corn syrup); 1 teaspoon molasses; 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon baking soda

Servings: persons

4 1/2 cups (84g) puffed millet (or other puffed grains)
1/2 cup (60g) roughly chopped pecans
1/3 cup (40g) sliced almonds
1 3/4 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (75g) lightly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (32g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup (111g) glucose (or honey, brown rice syrup, or corn syrup)
1 teaspoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon teaspoon baking soda

1
Heat the oven to 325u00b0 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
2
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the millet, pecans, almonds, turmeric, cardamom, and salt. In a small pot, stirring occasionally, heat the light brown sugar, butter, glucose, and molasses, until they reach 250u00b0F (it will have been simmering in slow, steady large bubbles for a minute or two). Remove from the heat, whisk in the baking soda, and immediately pour over the dry ingredients. Stir well with a sturdy spoon or spatula (the mixture will be stiff), making sure to mix in all the spices that have fallen to the bottom of the bowl, and then spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet.
3
Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Allow to cool completely before breaking up and storing at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
