Little Millet

Little millet shares quite an illustrious history with Indian cuisine. The grains have been cultivated in the country for centuries and are traditionally grown as a catch crop in particularly hilly regions of central India. Ours is sourced from Madhya Pradesh and adds a mellow crunch to this dish where we have used some widely available Indian Pennywort (thankuni) and Eucalyptus honey.

about the grain

The drought-resistant crop can be easily cultivated in any type of soil which makes it appropriate for areas affected by climate change. Besides, it is a fair source of protein, fat and carbohydrates. It has also been found to be nutritionally superior to other regular varieties of cereals.

what you can cook with it

You can use it in place of regular grains to have a wholesome meal low in glycemic index. It can be cooked like plain rice or paired in simple dishes like upma. You can also mix various grains and toss it in a simple salad.
