I love millet based recipe.. I always feel it keeps you full for long (may be it is just a feeling). This is one of the easiest recipe with millet. It is perfect for fasting. I have added onion to the Pulao but you can skip it if you are doing for fasting. This is a healthy meal and well balanced meal too. It is called Jhangora in Hindi / Odalu in Telugu / Oodalu in Kannada. This recipe is so simple even bachelors can do it
