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.
