BM #134 Week 2 Day 1 -
This week I shall showcase some easy recipes with different types of millets.
Today's recipe is an easy one and can be made for any occasion. I have cooked the millet in the pressure cooker, but cooking them on stove top or in instant pot also works well.
This is a good substitute for Rice kheer or Annam Paramannam.
Ingredients -
Barnyard Millet 3 Tbsp
Milk 4 cups
Sugar 3/4 cup (or more if needed)
Cardamom Powder 1/2 tsp
Fried Cashews for garnish
Wash and Soak barnyard millet for a few hours (a minimum of 4 hours) . Drain and wash again.
Add about 3 cups of milk to the drained millet and pressure cook for 10 minutes.
In a heavy bottomed pan, boil a cup of milk and transfer the cooked barnyard millet into it.
Mix well and add sugar. Let the sugar melt and simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the cardamom powder, mix well and remove from heat. Garnish with fried cashews.
Serve it warm for a delectable dessert.
Preparation Time 30 minutes
Serves 5-6
Millets are definitely a great substitute for rice. Kheer looks creamy and delicious.
I love these payasams...so healthy, yet no comprise on taste.
Kheer makes the festive feast complete and this is a nutritious and delicious one!
Millet payasam is creamy and delicious! Loved it.
