Steam the millet semolina for 8 minutes, until softened.
Whisk the yogurt, milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Transfer the hot millet grains to a wide bowl and cool for 5 minutes.
Mix the millet with the yogurt sauce.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Prepare the mango cubes.
Divide the thiakry into bowls and serve with cinnamon and mango.
💡 Tip: Do not mash the millet grains after adding them to the warm mixture; the dessert's signature is its couscous-like separate texture.
