KEBA rolled millet thiakri is a medium-grade rolled millet semolina, for preparing thiakry (or dégué), the Senegalese dessert with sweetened curdled milk served well chilled. 500 g pack, origin Senegal.
What is thiakri?
Rolled millet from West Africa, or soungouf in Wolof, comes in several grades depending on the fineness of the grain: thiéré (the finest, for a savoury couscous), sankhal, thiakri or thiakry (medium grade, for the sweet dessert) and arraw (the coarsest grain). In Senegal, it is called thiakry; in Mali and Côte d'Ivoire, dégué. This KEBA pack is distributed by Tai Yat, which also owns the Number One brand, already present on other Senegalese cereals in the catalogue.
How to prepare it?
The semolina is already rolled and pre-cooked: rehydrate it with hot water or steam it for a few minutes until it swells, then let it cool. Then mix it with curdled milk or sweetened plain yoghurt, flavoured with vanilla, nutmeg or orange blossom water, and add raisins if you like. Keep chilled before serving.
What to pair it with?
With BONNET ROUGE unsweetened condensed milk so you can adjust the sugar yourself, or SAMIA orange blossom water. For a savoury couscous, try KEBA millet thiéré, finer grain, or KEBA millet arraw (soungouf), coarser grain. The full recipe for thiakry is on the blog. The whole range: cereals and grains.
