We do millet base dishes at least 3 times a week. I have tried different dishes with millet so far it has been quite successful. My entire family likes it. In some dishes they prefer millet over rice. I love the Kodo millet version better than regular rice version. It stayed loose even after an hour of cool down. So it is perfect for lunch box too. It kept me full for long
