About Proso Millet

Proso Millet has the largest grain among the millet rices in addition to all the general millet characteristics (gluten-free, low glycemic index, high fibre, etc). It is golden in colour, so it’s also called the golden Millet. Proso millet is a part of the staple diet of many cultures.

Proso Millet is called as Variga (in Telugu), Baragu (in Kannada), Pani Varagu (in Tamil) or Chena (in Hindi)

Ingredients
Servings: Idli
Instructions
  1. Grid Urad Dal in a mixer grinder in about 1 cup of hot water (thick paste consistency). Wash Proso Millet Idli Rava and drain using a sieve. Add this to Urad dal paste and mix well. I used Hot water as the weather is cold and this will help in fermentation.
  2. Keep it aside in a warm place for about 8 hours. The batter should ferment and rise. Pour the batter in Idli tray and steam it for about 10 minutes. Oil the tray before adding the batter to avoid idli sticking to the tray.
  3. Once the idli is cooked, remove from the cooker and let it cool and remove from the tray.
  4. Serve with coconut chutney and sambar.
