Instructions
  1. Wash Foxtail Millet Rice. I have found that only wash is sufficient if you have bought it from Kaulige Foods.
  2. Add 2.5 measures of water for every measure of Foxtail Millet Rice. This measure gives a firm (Al dente) cooked rice. If you like it soft, use 3 measures for every measure of rice.
  3. I use pressure cooker to cook the rice. 1 whistle at high flame and 2 whistles in low flame (approx 10 mins). After third whistle, take it off flame and let the millet cook in its own steam. The cooker cools in about 10 minutes.
  4. Use the millet rice to prepare various dishes. You can also use this as regular rice and serve with gravy
