About Thiakry
Thiakry is a millet-and-cultured-milk dish. Aïssatou Mbaye's version brings together millet thiakry grains, plain yogurt, unsweetened evaporated milk and honey, with dried banana as the fruit choice.
Yogurt contributes a gentle tang, balanced by the honey and fruit. Evaporated milk gives the mixture a richer dairy character.
The cooled millet grains remain distinct and carry pieces of dried fruit. They sit above the yogurt mixture in small bowls, contrasting their grainy texture with the smooth, creamy base.
