Wash and soak the proso millet for at least 4 hours.
Pressure cook the proso millet by adding about 2.5 cups of water. After the pressure cooker cools down, transfer the cooked millet into a wide bowl and mash it so that there no lumps.
Add in milk and yogurt. Mix well.

I have always used proso millet in idli dosa batter but in rice based dishes. Yet to try. This yogurt rice with proso millet sounds so yum and delicious.
This is surely an awesome way to use these millets Harini. Very nice! love those cute cups!
This is an easy meal option for summer that we often make. Great share!
Looks so comforting and it was just what needed this week with the heat wave around here. It was so cooling and refreshing !!
