I have been hunting for good recipes using millets. I wanted to make any simple lunch recipes using millets so we can include it in our lunch. Finally landed on sharmi’s page. I found this curd rice quite interesting. I made it and it was so comforting and totally different from my normal curd rice.

I added lots of cucumber and carrots in my curd rice which made it so cooling and soothing. I served this with mango pickle..Check out pickle recipes..
Hope you will try this out and let me know how it turned out for you..

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 25 to 30 mins
Serves – 4 to 5

Ingredients:

Kambu / Pearl Millet – 1 cup ( I used broken variety)
Water – 4 cup
Curd / Yogurt – 3/4 Cup
Milk – 2 cup or adjust
Salt to taste
Cucumber – 1 medium size grated
Carrot – 1 medium size grated

For Seasoning:

Oil – 1 tblspn
Mustard Seeds / Kaduku – 1 tsp
Urad dal / Ulundu Paruppu – 1 tsp
Asafoetida / Hing / Kaya Podi – 1/4 tsp
Green Chillies – 2 chopped finely
Ginger – 1 tsp grated
Curry leaves – a sprig

Method:

Take pearl millet in a bowl and wash well. Add it to pressure cooker and cover with water. Pressure cook for 5 whistle, simmer for 15 mins. Turn off the heat and let the steam go all by itself. Open the cooker and fluff it up. Allow this to cool.

Now add curd, milk, salt and mix well.

Add in grated cucumber and carrots. Mix well.

Make seasoning by heating oil and adding all the seasoning ingredients and saute for a min. Add that to the curd rice and mix well.

Serve.

Pictorial:
I used broken kambu, First add water to them and
Rub them well with your hands and wash well
Now drain off the water
add fresh water
Once you added water
pressure cook
now it is all cooked
mix well and let it cool down
once it cools it will get thick
add some salt
and curd
add milk
Mix well..Make it little on the thin side, because
it will get thick as it stands by
now add in grated cucumber and carrots
mix well
now lets make seasoning, heat oil in a small pan
add in mustard seeds
add in urad dal
and some asafoetida
add in green chillies
some grated ginger
fry for few sec
