Little Millet Paal Puttu
Puttu is a popular breakfast dish served in the southern Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Made in cylinders created specifically to steam ground rice that is layered with coconut shavings, it is often eaten with meat or pea curries. Here, the rice is substituted with little millet.
Bajre Ki Kees
Traditionally made with fresh corn kernels, this rendition of the bhutte ka kees uses bajra instead.
Little Millet Minapa Rotti
The Minapa or Dibba Rotti is an Andhra delicacy. A thick, savoury pancake with a crisp crust, it can be had for breakfast or as an accompaniment to a main dish. In this recipe, the traditional homemade rice rava (made from coarsely ground rice) is replaced with little millet rava.
Kodo Millet Appam
Appams, a traditional dish consumed in Kerala, are the perfect, fluffy accompaniment to any meal. Both light and nutritious, they are usually made with ground and fermented rice. Substituting the rice with fermented kodo in this recipe improves the absorption of nutrients present in the millet.
Jowar and Bottle Gourd Muthiya
Muthiyas are a classic Gujarati dish made by steaming and frying dough into fist-shaped dumplings, from which they derive their name. They are usually eaten for breakfast, or as a snack. Here, they are made with jowar flour.
Jowar Poha
Poha is a breakfast dish eaten across large parts of central and western India. Traditionally made with flattened rice flakes, poha is usually cooked with onions, green chillies, and peanuts. Regional variations ensure that it tastes just a little different if you have it in say, Indore, Pune, or Ahmedabad. This version, which replaces the rice with jowar flakes, is just as satisfying.
Kodo Millet and Mango Pancakes
Mangoes, coconut milk, and kodo millet flour come together to create a perfectly flavoured summer breakfast in these fluffy pancakes.
Jowar ki Raab
Raab is a famed Marwadi drink, made with millets like jowar or bajra. The millet flour, mixed with yoghurt, is cooked to a kadhi-like consistency for a refreshingly cool drink in the summer, or a warming soup in the cold Rajasthani winters.
