thumb|Oshikundu

Oshikundu or ontaku is a traditional Namibian drink made from fermented millet (mahangu) flour, brans and malted sorghum flour mixed with tepid water. It is made from cereal. Ontaku has a short life span and must be consumed within six hours once it is ready.

A study conducted in 2001 by the Department of Food Science at the University of Namibia revealed that it was possible to create a dry mix containing malted pearl millet and sorghum, which would be nutritionally enhanced with bambara nut. This mix could then be sold for making oshikundu.
