Millets are dominating everywhere and
moreover we can make delicious as well as healthy dishes with it, right? I love
millets and interested to make new dishes with the small magical grains… We
used to buy all millets except pani varagu (proso millet), which was not
available in the grocery stores where we buy our usual stuffs… Last week, I and
dad went to buy brown rice, and then only I noticed the pani varagu, which
looks similar to varagu but its in yellow color.
I have prepared pongal with the proso
millet. It is easy to make and tastiest too… Pongal and vadai combination is unbeatable. My mom used to make this combination when guests come to our place. My grandma is here, so we my mom made medhu vadai and I prepared the healthy millet pongal... Already I have posted Varagu Ven Pongal too... Check my other millet recipes here in pinterest...
