How to Prepare

Rinse the Proso Millet thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear to remove any impurities.
In a pressure cooker, add the rinsed millet and water in a 1:2.5 ratio (10 cups millet to 25 cups water).
Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil to enhance flavor and prevent sticking.
Close the lid and cook on medium heat for 2 whistles (approximately 10 minutes).
Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid.
Fluff the millet with a fork and let it sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Serve hot with sambar, rasam, or any curry of your choice.
