Steps for preparation

  • Keep Pearl millet / kambu immersed in water for 2 minutes along with salt. Drain water immediately using a strainer.
  • Steam the millet spread on an idli pot plate for 5 minutes.
  • When done, remove from the idli plate by inverting it over a plate. Lightly fluff up and keep it ready.
  • Heat oil in a pan, season with mustard seed split black gram, cumin seeds and curry leaves.
  • Saute onions, green chilli and ginger until the onion turns translucent.
  • Add in the mixed veggies, bring the flame to low and cook them covered for roughly 3 minutes depending on the size of the veggies.
  • When done add in the cooked millet and stir gently adding salt.
  • Switch off and garnish with coriander leaves. A little drizzle of ghee would be nice.
