🇸🇳 Senegal recipe
Lakh
Lakh is a cherished Senegalese breakfast porridge made from millet couscous simmered in fermented milk until creamy and comforting. Sweetened with sugar and perfumed with vanilla and nutmeg, this silky porridge is the gentle start to the day that Senegalese families have enjoyed for generations. The fermented milk (lait caillé) gives it a distinctive tang that perfectly balances the sweetness.
