Instructions

1. Wash Kodo Millet Rice and keep it aside. (Tip: Use a sieve to drain water from the millet).

   
2. 
3. Chop all vegetables and keep it ready.

   
4. Wash the Methi Leaves thoroughly and drain all water. Chop the methi leaves. When I was preparing this dish, the power failed and couldn't chop the methi leaves. Hence, the methi leaves were cluttered after cooking.

   
5. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pressure cooker. Add the whole spices and fry for a few minutes. Add curry leaves to this.

   
6. Add the chopped onions and fry till translucent.

   
7. Add Green chillies and Ginger-Garlic paste and fry for a few minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and Knol Khol and fry for a few minutes.

   
8. Add 2-1/2 cups of water.

   
9. When water comes to a boil, add washed Kodo millet rice.

   
10. Add the chopped methi leaves and close the lid. 1 whistle in medium flame and 1 whistle in low flame. After 2 whistles, remove from flame and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Do not remove the steam, let the millet cook in its own steam.

    
11. Serve hot with some raitha.
