Ingredients:
Method:
2- After 24 hours, I could tell by the smell that it had fermented and found the dough this way:
4- Crush the bananas and mix well with your fingers or with a mixer if you want to go faster, I did not need more water, but if the mixture is not like the mixture of a pancake, we pour a little more water :
The consistency should be like this or a little more liquid :

Where to buy the ingredients:
Millet can be bought in Madrid at Lavapies neighborhood , there are several shops along the street Miguel Servet with African and Indian products.
peanut oil can be found in the Chinese stores of General Margallo at Tetuan metro. Be careful because there are brands that instead of pure peanut oil sell oil blend .
I bought it at General Margallo 9, Madrid .
My comments to the recipe :
It is a dessert with a different and peculiar flavour , it is tasty but we are not used to this taste, fermented millet has a special flavour that combines perfectly with banana , I would say that enhances its flavour , giving the slight feeling that this dessert has some banana liqueur ... it is the effect of fermentation.
