I have tried the following millets and have liked the soup with all of them so far.
- Barnyard millet or samak ke chaawal
- Little millet or sama
- Foxtail millet or kangani
- Kodo millet
Step 1: Soak the millets for at least 6 hours.
Main Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup minor millets
- 4 cups water - needs to be 16 times millets volume
- chopped veggies - carrots/beetroot/peas/mushrooms/kaddu etc.
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 10-12 curry leaves (optional)
Step 2: Heat 1 teaspoon ghee. Add mustard seeds, heeng and curry leaves. Add millets and veggies. Add water and salt. Boil and cook for 12-15 minutes.
This can be done in an open pan - no covered/pressure cooking needed.
Step 3: Add coconut milk. Cook for 30-60 seconds more.
Step 4 (optional): Add some pepper at the end. Also, if you feel like, you can make some tadka with ghee, rai, heeng and whole red chillies, and pour over the top of soup.
