Millet semolina
For thiakry
Senegalese cuisine

Description, ingredients and allergens

TANTIE thiakry is a medium-grain millet semolina, 100% millet. It is the base of thiakry, or dégué, the Senegalese dessert made with sweetened curdled milk, served well chilled. 500 g pack.

What is thiakry?

The word refers both to this semolina and to the dessert made from it. In Senegal, it is called thiakry; in Mali and Côte d'Ivoire, dégué. The pack contains only millet: the curdled milk, called sow in Wolof, the sugar and the vanilla are added when preparing the dessert.

How to prepare it?

Pour boiling water over the semolina, cover and let it swell, as indicated on the pack, then let it cool.
Mix curdled milk or plain yoghurt with sugar and a little vanilla, nutmeg or orange blossom water.
Stir in the cooled semolina, add raisins if you like, and keep chilled for at least an hour before serving.

The full recipe for thiakry is on the blog.

What to pair it with?

With Nestlé sweetened condensed milk for a creamier version, or SAMIA orange blossom water. For a savoury couscous, choose TANTIE thiéré, fine grain. The whole range: flours and starches.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make thiakry with this semolina?

Soak the semolina in boiling water until it swells, let it cool, then mix it with curdled milk or sweetened yoghurt, flavoured with vanilla or orange blossom water. Keep chilled for at least an hour before serving.

Are thiakry and dégué the same thing?

Yes. Thiakry is the Senegalese name, dégué the one used in Mali and Côte d'Ivoire. Both refer to the millet semolina dessert with sweetened curdled milk, and by extension the semolina sold to prepare it.

Does the pack contain milk?

No. The pack contains only millet. The curdled milk or yoghurt is added when preparing the dessert: that is when the milk becomes part of the recipe.

What is the difference with thiéré?

Both are millet semolinas. Thiakry, medium grain, is used for the sweet dessert. Thiéré, fine grain, is a couscous eaten savoury, with a sauce.
