Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash well & soak the Thinai Millets for about 15-20 mins time- Set aside, put a cover to it while soaking. Get ready with the rest other veggies, spices & ingredients

* Step 2

Heat a frying pan over the medium-high flame & the ghee to it- Add in the tempering spices, aforementioned to it & sauté until it starts spluttering & its nice aroma is smelled.

* Step 3

Now, add in the chopped onions- sauté for about 2 mins time, until translucent- add in the 3G Paste now & continue sautéing until the raw smell goes off.

* Step 4

At this point: Add in the carrots, green peas & keep stirring gently but continuously- add in the salt, turmeric powder & Kashmiri red chili powder.

* Step 5

Sauté well & add some water/ cover the pan & cook for about 5-6 mins time until soft enough but not mushy at all. Now, add in the soaked Thinai Millets & mix everything together well, until nicely combined.

* Step 6

Cover the lid, reduce the flame to low-medium & let it cook for the next 15-17 mins time until all are nicely cooked, & the very water dries up completely.

* Step 7

Once done: Turn off the flame...add in a dollop of some extra ghee & roasted masala (optional completely but I did so) & let it sit on the hot oven, with its lid on for about another 10 mins time.

* Step 8

Time to dish out on the serving platter. Garnish, as per your own choice. It’s ready to be served now.💁🏻‍♀️

* Step 9

ENJOY.😋 piping hot with any hot beverage of your choice & fill in your heart & soul with such a healthy & nutritious breakfast/meal, etc. that’s very much complete & self-satiating in itself.
