Jagły Polish Christmas Sweet Millet Recipe

Jagły is a Polish Christmas sweet millet porridge that is quite popular. It is very easy to make and you require just four ingredients: millet, milk, butter, and honey. All four ingredients are easily available in Poland. The trick to making the Jagły is to slow-cook it for about 20 minutes. This gives it a nice thick consistency and helps the millet absorb the milk.

Jagły is best served warm and it is a great dish to serve adults and children alike on the cold winter days which is why you will find it very popular during Christmas time. It is one of the common dishes at the Wigilia Christmas Eve dinner in some regions of Poland. This is because it is believed that if you eat Jagły for Wigilia, you will have money the following year.
