  •  
  • For extra flavor, toast the teff grains in the saucepan for 3-5 minutes over medium heat before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  • Make sure to use whole grain teff (not teff flour) for this recipe.
  • Do remember to stir the porridge occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking/burning.
  • Feel free to add a little more liquid if it starts to get too thick.
