Millet Pulao:~ In a quest to include an array of grains and change things up~ this millet pulao is both comforting and nutritious at the same time. Easy to digest and easy to prepare with any vegetables you have on hand .
Ingredients
1 cup millet (soaked for 4-8 hours or overnight in 2 cups water)
1/2 cup split yellow moong
2 tbsp ghee/coconut oil
1 small onion, diced
Curry leaves
Cumin seeds
Grated ginger
1 ½ cup butternut squash & sweet potatoe mix , diced
½ cup marrow , diced
½ cup green beans diced
½ cup peas
2 cups baby spinach
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp crushed coriander & Jeera powder
Sea salt and green chili , chopped coriander and squeeze of lemon
Rinse and soak your millet ( overnight)
Drain, place with moong in a pot with salt and steam .
In a separate pan , Heat the ghee and add the onions , cumin and curry leaves - allow to soften
Layer your vegetables ( hardy ones 1st )
Add dry spices , close lid and allow to soften
Once veggies tender add millet , and spinach/ peas ~ add water and allow millet and veggies to steam together.
>> Instead of cooking millet separately ~ you could add the washed millet with veggies and cook all together
Either way an easy alternative to rice and just as delicious. Hope you give this a go…
