Thiakry (also spelled thiacry or chakery, from Wolof: cakri) or dèguè in Bambara is a sweet millet couscous dish consumed in West Africa. Its first recipe dates from the era of the Bambara Empire in the region of Segou in actual Mali, and was then modernised over time. It is now known as a delightful dessert particularely in Mali and Senegal.[1][2][3] The wheat or millet granules are mixed with milk, sweetened condensed milk, or yogurt, as well as dried fruit such as raisins, desiccated coconut, and spices such as nutmeg.
