Bajra Salad

🇮🇳 Indian

Millets are having their comeback and bajra salad shows why — nutty, sustaining, and older than memory. Ready in 35 minutes including prep.

Prep 15 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Crackle the mustard seeds in ghee with the curry leaves and chili.

  3. 3

    Add the onion and cook to gold, then the millet, turmeric, salt and double its volume of water.

  4. 4

    Cook covered on low until the grains fluff and the water is gone, 12-15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Rest 5 minutes and fork through.

Chef's tip

Hot water and patience — millet dough and batter both punish haste.
