Indian millets (varugu, kuthiravalli, thinai, saamai) are healthy replacement for rice. You can serve this cooked millet just like rice with sambar, rasam, curry and so on. Here i have used varugu.

Ingredients:

• Varugu - 1 cup
• Water - 3 cups
• Salt as required

Method:

• Dry roast millet for 2 minutes, then add water and salt. Keep the heat on high.
• When it start boiling, reduce the heat to low and close the cooking pan with the lid. 
• It takes around 12 to 15 minutes to cook. If you think millet sticking to the bottom, give a stir, otherwise keep the lid closed.
• Let the millet rest for 10 to 20 minutes more before serving.
• Serve this cooked millet with sambar and curry.
