Add the millet (uphoko) and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the millet (uphoko) is cooked.

Fluff the millet (uphoko) gently with a fork, then serve the pilaf with the beetroot, fresh mint and feta cheese.
