Tasty Little Millet Kesari Bhath to accompany Upma to make Chow-Chow Bhath – the pineapple adds a twist to the recipe.
About Little Millet
Little Millet is high in healthy fats in addition to all the general millet characteristics (gluten-free, low glycemic index, high fibre, etc). It also has the smallest grains, so cooks faster than the other millets.
Little Millet is also called Same (in Kannada), Samai (in Tamil), Samalu (in Telugu) and Kutki (in Hindi)

Recipe Notes
Try variations: Use Vanilla instead of Clove or Cardamom.
I have seen Kesari Bhath recipes where the rava is not roasted. Alternatively, you can try that too.
