Onion1, chopped
Green Chili1
Ghee2 tbsp
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Mustard Seeds1 tsp
Curry Leaves1 sprig
Pearl Millet (Bajra)1 cup

1
Rinse the millet and drain; a 20-minute soak shortens the cooking.

Crackle the mustard seeds in ghee with the curry leaves and chili.
3
Add the onion and cook to gold, then the millet, turmeric, salt and double its volume of water.
4
Cook covered on low until the grains fluff and the water is gone, 12-15 minutes.
5
Rest 5 minutes and fork through.

Chef's tip

Rinse millets well; a dusty grain dulls the whole pot.
