Cook

15 minutes

Serves

2 servings

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Grainifyy Little Millet (or Kodo / Barnyard)
• 2.5 cups water or milk
• A pinch of salt
• Jaggery, dates or honey for a sweet version
• Cumin, ginger and curry leaves for a savoury version

Method

1. Rinse the millet well.
2. Bring the water or milk to a boil, add the millet and a pinch of salt.
3. Simmer on low for 12–15 minutes, stirring now and then, until it thickens.
4. Finish sweet with jaggery and a little cardamom, or savoury with a cumin and curry leaf tempering.

Tips

• Add liquid a little at a time — porridge thickens further as it cools.
• Leftovers loosen up nicely with a splash of hot water or milk.

Serving Suggestion

Best served warm, in the morning or as a light dinner.
