Kodo Millet Recipe

Today I will share how to make a Kodo Millet recipe which is a healthy, delectable one-pot recipe. It is prepared with some vegetables and spices.

What is millet?

Millets are ancient gluten-free small grains. Most common millets are Sorghum (Jowar), pearl millet (Bajra), foxtail millet (Kangni), finger millet (Ragi), Barnyard millet, Kodo millet, Little Millet, and Proso Millet.; they are low in calories and sugar, provide the necessary protein and are rich in fiber. Here I am using Kodo millet.

Equipment used

• Kadai / Fry pan
• Spatula

Ingredients

• Kodo millet-1 cup
• Mustard seeds-1 tbsp
• Bengal gram dal-1 tbsp
• Curry leaves-10
• Grated ginger-1 tbsp
• Chopped green chili-2
• Chopped onion-1
• Capsicum (cut into small size)-1
• Carrot (chopped)-1
• Beans (Chopped)-5
• Turmeric powder-1/2 tbsp
• Garam masala-1/2 tbsp

How to make Kodo Millet Recipe

Wash the millet and allow it to soak for 5 hours, as I am not using a pressure cooker. (If you use a pressure cooker then no need to soak the millet)

Now heat ghee in a pan, and add mustard seeds, Bengal gram dal, and curry leaves for tempering

As they start cracking and sizzling, then add the chopped ginger, and stir them for a minute

Add chopped green chili

Now add the onion and fry them for a minute

Then add the capsicum and carrot and stir them for a minute

Add chopped beans and sauté them all for two minutes

Now add turmeric powder, salt, and garam masala and stir them till the raw smell goes off

Add the soaked Kodo/millet and sauté them for two minutes

Now add 2 cups of water and mix them well

Cover the lid and allow them to cook for 18-20 minutes on low flame

Open the lid and mix them well

Transfer them to a serving plate and serve hot with raita
