HOW TO COOK MILLET (LEMON MILLET)

Steps:

• Add ½ cup millets to a pot and wash thoroughly. Drain completely. Add 1 ½ cups water, salt as needed to the pot and allow to soak for a while. You can also skip soaking.
• Cook them on a medium flame until all the water is absorbed, but slightly soggy. Cover the pot and simmer on the lowest heat until completely cooked. Fluff gently with a fork and cool completely.
• Heat a pan with oil. Add mustard when they begin to splutter, add chana dal, urad dal, cashews and red chili, green chili.
• When the dals turn slightly golden, add curry leaves, ginger and green chili.
• Curry leaves turn crisp very soon. Then add turmeric and hing. Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons water and cook until all of the water evaporates. This will soften the dals and bring out the aroma of spices. Turn off the heat.
• Add the cooled millets and squeeze in the lemon juice. Mix everything well.
• Serve lemon millet rice with curd, veg sald, papad or pickle.
