🍲 How to Cook Buddha Ratana Proso Millet

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Buddha Ratana Proso Millet

• 2–2½ cups water

• Salt, to taste

• 1 tsp ghee or oil, optional

Method:

1. Rinse Thoroughly
   Wash the Proso Millet 2–3 times with clean water to remove surface dust and impurities.

2. Soak (Optional)
   Soak for approximately 20–30 minutes if you prefer a softer texture and more even cooking. Drain well before cooking.

3. Cook the Millet
   Add 1 cup millet and approximately 2–2½ cups fresh water to a saucepan. Add salt and ghee or oil if desired.

4. Bring to a Boil
   Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

5. Simmer & Cover
   Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 15–20 minutes, or until the millet is tender and the water has been absorbed.

6. Rest
   Turn off the heat and let it stand covered for approximately 5 minutes.

7. Fluff & Serve
   Gently fluff with a fork and serve warm, or cool it for use in salads and grain bowls.

💡 Cooking Tip

For separate, fluffy grains, avoid stirring frequently while the millet cooks. Water absorption can vary slightly between batches and cooking methods, so adjust the quantity according to the texture you prefer.

For khichdi or porridge, simply increase the amount of water and cook until soft and creamy.
