Here it’s one more breakfast recipe.
Millets have been considered a healthy inclusion to the daily intake.
I had mentioned about healthy drink in one of my previous blog..which has all millets as ingredients.
Here comes a millet-based breakfast…which i prepared using Kodo millet.
Kodo millet commonly known as Kodo Millet is called as Haarka (in Kannada), Arikelu (in Telugu), Varagu (in Tamil) and Kodon (in Hindi).
Kodo millet is known for its rich fiber and micronutrient content. Recently research has shown that unpolished Kodo Millet contains at least five known different anti-diabetic compounds that have been identified by researchers.
Varagu Pongal/ Haarka kichdi
Ingredients:
Kodo millets/ Varagu/Haarka: 1 measure
Moong dal: 1/4 measure
Ghee: 3 teaspoons
Pepper: 1 tablespoon
Cumin: 1 tablespoon
Curry leaves: 7-10 in the count
Salt to taste
Water: double the measure
1. Take the Kodo millets, don’t wash more than once even though you see the brown color of the water as it’s healthy with it husks on( If you are using polished one….no comments 😑).
2)Lightly fry the moong dal and mix it with water.
3)Take 3 measures of water for 1 measure of millet and 1/2 measure of dal.
4) Pressure cook the ingredients up to 10 mins in medium flame( 10 whistles in an Indian context😉) and let it get cooked further in the steam after switching off the stove.
5)Take 2 spoonfuls of ghee, add pepper, cumin, curry leaves, Cashew. Roast it and add as a seasoning to the prepared recipe.
You can prepare kichdi in the same way, with small additions to the ingredients:
1 carrot
1 capsicum
7-8 beans
1 small potato
1 onion
2-3 tomatoes
1-2 green chilies
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
2 tablespoons oil
Procedure:
1) Cut all the vegetables to equal proportions.
2) Take oil, fry all the vegetables, let the tomatoes turn mushy.
3) Add turmeric,Salt( required for vegetables only),ginger garlic paste,chillies,
4) Add the washed millets, fried moong dal
And follow the same above process.
5)You can add garam masala too if you want.
Happy healthy Breakfasting 😁😉😉😉
