Tiakri (Steamed Millet Couscous)

1. 1

   Place the millet flour in a medium-sized bowl and dampen it slightly with the water.

2. 2

   Form small lentil-sized balls from the dampened flour by rubbing them around in your hands.

3. 3

   Think kindergarten and making beads.

4. 4

   (You may need more or less water depending on the texture of your millet flour, so add the water gradually.)

5. 5

   When the balls are made, place them in the top part of a couscoussiere or a steamer and steam until they are cooked through, about 20 minutes.

6. 6

   When ready, remove and allow the tiakri to cool to room temperature.

7. 7

   While the milled balls are cooling, add the sugars to the buttermilk and stir well to make sure that it is well mixed.

8. 8

   When the milled balls have cooled, place them in a serving bowl, pour the sweetened buttermilk over them, and serve.
