Oh, and recipes that are paired with delicious stories — those are our favourite kinds!

Bajre Ki Kees
Traditionally made with fresh corn kernels, this rendition of the bhutte ka kees uses bajra instead.
Foxtail Mudde With Nandu Rasam
Traditionally made with ragi, mudde is a soft, steamed dough shaped into balls. Owing to its sticky consistency, it is swallowed without chewing, and calls for a soupy accompaniment. Here, it is served with a nandu (crab) rasam.
Kodo Millet Thattai
A deep-fried snack made during festivities in Tamil households, thattai is usually made using roasted rice flour. Here, Sharada uses kodo millet flour for a unique texture and aroma.
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.
Bajra Khichdi
A bowl of hot khichdi almost always spells comfort. Here, the rice is substituted with bajra (pearl millet), making for an ideal one-pot meal.
