Thiakry is a sweet, creamy, and somewhat acidic delicacy from West Africa – Senegal and Gambia. I tried it with actual millet grains, and it was delicious!
Nothing beats the classic, traditional version of Thiakry, which is made with millet couscous. Mangoes, raisins, coconuts, or chopped almonds can be sprinkled on top.
The Thiakry (also called Degue, Chakery or Chakri) is a Senegalese dessert made with millet. This Thiakry couscous is a variable of that recipe.
INGREDIENTS
cup couscous
2 tbsp sugar
2 cup yogurt
3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract and nutmeg
INSTRUCTIONS
Add enough warm water to the couscous to cover the grains. Let the couscous absorb the water and put in the microwave for 3 min. When the grains are cooking, let cool.
As soon as the couscous is cold add the yoghurt, milk, sugar, vanilla extract and the nutmeg.
Mix well, chill and serve cold.
