    Love fonio. I cook it twice a month for my son. I use coconut water and hemp milk along with my desired veggies and spices. We love it.

      Goddess Maat: Yes, you would cook it the same way as rice but with less water 50% water than rice since the grain is very small. Either milk will work. You can always add what you like and remove what you don’t like from this video. Thanks for watching.

    My fonio dinner was an experience. I rewatched your video and took notes. Using the notes as an outline I laid out all of the ingredients on the counter and then went through the process, constantly stirring. I did add pulled grilled chicken thighs as a meat. One note, at the end the dish does thicken up very fast so your advice of adding a splash of water was very sound. Wish I could add a picture and there was an AROMA app.

    Thanks. I knew fonio cooking, but yours is slightly different and will try it, lbw. How could you not name Gambia as among the countries growing it? .My bonus/gift: We need emergency mass prayers, emergency crowd funding, and/or emergency mass urging of Billionaires to reward essential truth revealing folks. As you may or may not know, the u.s just declared 'state of emergency' over the possible leaking of truthful information regarding oil pipelines that may have global effects, including climate change effects and information. Some money and/or truth loving folks are asking money (ransom) to avoid revealing the truth , but what amount of money can we give them to reveal it and know how Trump, Obama, Biden, or xyz may be worse than many imagine? Ideally, we wish they understand the truthful Lord can reward them more, but the truthful Lord did not forbid us to reward such more than others who give us less than truth. It is far from being anti u.s or any country , but more about being pro truth and understanding truth is our best friend. A Russian, Chinese, or Iranian Billionaire should give Snowden one million dollars and offer similar to the pipeline hackers and future essential truth revealers; that a committee will decide if they get hundred thousand to million dollars as grateful compensation depending on the amount of lies and cruelty it exposes or will prevent. Similarly, a u.s or Saudi Billionaire can offer million dollars to essential leaks regarding Iran, Russia, China, etc? Imagine a huge leak that will shed light on Chinese treatment of uyghurs, saudi treatment of countless 'Jamal' the journalists or activists, Russian maltreating of citizens, etc for one million dollars versus wars and questionable sanctions? These leaks can prevent wars, raise human right records, and countless benefits; but some cowards think truth can be more dangerous than lies and cruelty of their favorite countries? Once we can convince one billionaire to join us, other Billionaires in other countries may return the favor.
    Beside Billionaires, couple of reputable activists can spearhead continuous crowd funding for such leaks to be encouraged with reasonable reward. Just ten to fifty million truth loving people ready to contribute ten dollars a year can raise how much money and move this world closer to truth, which automatically leads to closer to Kindness or God. The ideas through the mind of a blessed marijuana guy is like a seed that God should complete for mass uplifting and bless the mediums of great ideas.
