Gonré (millet dough balls)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, bring 1 litre of water to the boil with a teaspoon of salt and the oil.
2. Gradually pour the millet flour into the water, stirring vigorously with a wooden spatula to prevent lumps.
3. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time, until you have a firm dough that pulls away from the sides.
4. Meanwhile, fry the sliced onion in oil, add the chopped tomatoes and the paste, then the whole chilli, and simmer for 15 minutes to make a sauce.
5. Shape the hot dough into balls with slightly wet hands, then serve them with the very hot sauce.
