Preparation

1. Rinse the small millet well under cold water to remove any dust or dirt.
2. Put the small millet in a pan and add water in a ratio of 1:2 (one part small millet to two parts water). You can adjust the amount based on your preference for the consistency of the cooked millet.
3. Add a pinch of salt to the pan to enhance the flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as cumin seeds, turmeric, or coriander powder, to add extra flavor.
4. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.
5. Simmer the small millet for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the millet is tender and tender. You can stir occasionally to prevent the millet from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and let the cooked little millet rest for a few minutes with the lid still on.
7. Remove the lid and use a fork to loosen and fluff up the cooked millet. This helps fluff up the texture.
