Yet another recipe with Millets. If you have difficulties to get your kids to eat millets this is one of simple and tasty option. For me it tasted almost rice upma.. Also with loads of vegetables it is really well balanced meal for the family. I try to use millet in Kichadi, upma or dosa. Normally it is easier to blend millet in these dishes and very little if not no chance of going wrong.. Try it out and enjoy Millet
