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)

- 1/4 cup Sugar if needed
- Cashews, Almonds, Raisins For Garnishing, lightly roasted
