Equipment
Method
- Wash the kodo millet thoroughly under running water and drain.
- In a pressure cooker (or heavy-bottom pan), add washed millet and 1 cup water. Close the lid and cook 3–4 whistles on medium flame (or simmer in pan for about 15 min until soft).
- In a separate pan, heat oil or ghee. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Then add chopped vegetables and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
- Add turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and cook vegetables for another 2 minutes. If needed, sprinkle a little water so they soften.
- Once millet is cooked and soft, open the lid and fluff lightly with a spoon. Combine the cooked millet with sautéed vegetables. Stir gently on low flame for 2 minutes to mix flavours.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if using. Serve hot as a hearty, healthy breakfast or meal.
Notes
You can adjust water quantity to get thicker or lighter consistency. You may add a pinch of black pepper or chopped ginger for extra warmth and flavour. For a richer taste, use ghee instead of oil.
