Millet Vegetable Fried rice
Millet Vegetable Fried rice
Ingredients:
Barnyard Millet – 2 cups, pre-cooked and cooled
Eggs - 6
Grated Paneer/ cheese – ½ cup
Grated carrot – 1 big size
Green bell pepper – 1 small size, thinly sliced
Red Onion – 1 small size, thinly sliced
Green chilli – 2 medium size, vertically slit
Black Pepper powder – ¼ tbsp
Dark soy sauce – 1/2 tsp
Chilli vinegar – 2 tsp
Oyster wok sauce – 1 tsp
Oil for sautéing
Salt as per taste
Instructions:
Wash the millets to get rid of any dirt or dust. Soak the millets in water for 15 to 20
minutes before cooking. Since I am using 2 cups of millets, I have soaked them in 4 cups
of fresh water. Before cooking add a tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt to the millets
and pressure cook for less than 1 whistle (approximately 5 to 7 minutes). We are adding
oil to keep the grains separated. Otherwise, they would stick to each other and would
look mushy after cooking. Whenever millets or rice is cooked separately for preparing
any recipe, adding oil is recommended. Let the pressure cooker cool down for 10 to 15
minutes. This way, we are allowing enough time for the millets to cool down and hence
they wouldn’t get mushy while mixing or using in any recipe.

the cravings for junk food would fade and a healthy body with healthy mind is built.
