Now that the names of millets are out of the way lets see,
Why use millets? What are the health benefits of millets?
Millets that are rich in fibre, calcium, iron and vitamin B.
However, before that you start using millets how do you cook them?
Sorghum and finger millet is generally used as a flour. Even bajra is generally used in flour forms. It is only recently I have come across varieties of food made with the whole grain.
If you are using the other millets Barnyard Millet, Kodo Millet, Little Millet or Foxtail Millet then use it as a whole grain and cook them. You will need 2-1/4 cups of water to cook 1 cup of millets in a dry style like rice is cooked for pulao but to make a porridge kind of consistency use 3 cups.
