Luckily millet is one of the main wheat substitutes for German celiacs, so plenty of it here, and I love all kinds of millet puddings. This one turned out perfectly. I used the rose water option and cut down the sweetener because the rice milk I use already is quite sweet. The rasins actually were dried papaya bits. A very yummy treat which I'll make again :) Thanks for posting! Made for India - More Than Curry Tag Game.
