Getting down. Pour millet into the pan, add water and put on the stove. Turn on a strong fire (or the highest temperature), bring to a boil. At the moment when the foam begins to form and rise, we sharply reduce the temperature by 2 times. We do not close the lid with the lid, as already mentioned above. We remove the foam. At the same time, you can add salt, as well as mix. After 10 minutes, turn off the stove and leave the porridge to "reach" until ready. Add oil and close the lid for about 20 minutes.
