Millet Pumpkin rice

Ingredients: 

Barnyard millet – 1/2 cup, washed and pre-soaked for 20 to 30 mins 
Grated Pumpkin – 3/4 cup 
Spicy green chillies – 2, small size, thinly sliced 
Red onion – 1/2, small size, thinly sliced 
Green bell pepper – 1/2, small size, sliced 
Baby corn – 2, medium size, diced and pre-cooked 
Cumin seeds – 1 tsp 
Black pepper powder – 1 tsp 
Dry coconut powder – 1 tsp (optional) 
Salt as per taste 
Oil for stir fry 



Instructions: 

       Cook the barnyard/oodhalu millet rice along with a teaspoon of oil and a pinch of salt. This makes the grain non-sticky and will be separated out from each other. This way of cooking millet rice is most preferable for any stir fried dishes. 

       In a thick bottomed pan, add some oil and heat it. Now, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Add green chillies, red onions and stir fry until they turn translucent. Add green bell pepper and stir fry until they are half done. Add pre-cooked baby corn and saute for a minute. Add grated pumpkin and saute until they are 80% done. Add salt, pepper powder and mix well. Add pre-cooked millet rice and mix well. Let it sit in low flame for a minute or 2 and stir occassionally. Once the dish is ready, you may add dry coconut powder and mix well. Delicious pumpkin millet rice is ready to serve. Dish out to a container and serve hot. You may also garnish with grated pumpkin and dry coconut powder. Enjoy!! :)
