Preparation
Here is a general preparation method for pearl millet:
- Rinse the pearl millet thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Soak the pearl millet in water for several hours (about 3-4 hours). This helps reduce cooking time and makes the grains more digestible.
- Drain the soaking water and add fresh water to the pearl millet. The ratio is usually 1:2, so for every cup of pearl millet you add 2 cups of water.
- Bring the water to a boil in a pan. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to a low level and let the pearl millet simmer.
- Cover the pan and let the pearl millet cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the grains are soft and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the millet from sticking to the pan.
- Once the pearl millet is cooked, turn off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the steam to distribute evenly and makes the millet even softer.
Application
Pearl millet has several uses and can be used in various ways in the kitchen. Here are some popular uses of pearl millet:
- Bajra Khichdi: Khichdi is a one-pot dish often prepared with rice and lentils. You can use pearl millet instead of rice to make a more nutritious variety. Boil pearl millet along with lentils, vegetables and spices of your choice to prepare a tasty and nutritious khichdi.
- Bajra Salad: Pearl millet grains can also be added to salads for added texture and nutritional value. Boil the pearl millet as described earlier and let it cool. Add it to a salad with fresh vegetables, herbs, nuts and a dressing of your choice for a healthy and filling meal.
- Pearl millet can be eaten as an accompaniment to curries, stews and vegetable dishes.
These are just a few examples of how to use pearl millet. You can experiment and add the grain to different dishes in different ways to enjoy its benefits.
