Instructions: Wash and drain the millet. Place all ingredients (except the optional spice) in a large pot and bring to a simmer over high heat. Lower heat, cover, and continue cooking until the millet mixture is soft (about 45 minutes). Check periodically to make sure the mixture does not burn.

Mash the mixture using a potato masher, or blend it for about 30 seconds in a food processor. Add one of the optional spices, if you wish, and serve hot.
