On how to prepare Foxtail Millet Rice
About Foxtail Millet
Foxtail is very rich in phosphorus and thiamin (Vitamin B1) in addition to all the general millet characteristics (gluten-free, low glycemic index, high fibre, etc).
Foxtail Millet is also called Navane (in Kannada), Thenai (in Tamil), Korralu (in Telugu) and Kakum (in Hindi)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Foxtail Millet Rice
- 2-1/2 cups Water 2.5 measure water for every measure of millet
- 1/2 tsp Salt To taste
Servings: persons
Instructions
- Wash Foxtail Millet Rice. I have found that only wash is sufficient if you have bought it from Kaulige Foods.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use the millet rice to prepare various dishes. You can also use this as regular rice and serve with gravy
