1

Step 1: Cook the Foxtail Millet
1. Rinse the millet 2–3 times in water.
2. In a pan or pressure cooker, cook ½ cup foxtail millet with 1½ cups water until soft and all water is absorbed (like cooking rice). Let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Kebab Mixture
1. In a large bowl, combine:
Cooked and cooled millet
Mashed potatoes
Grated carrots
Boiled peas (optional)
Chopped onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste
All dry spices, salt, lemon juice, and coriander.
3

Mix everything well. The mixture should hold together. If it’s too soft, you can add 1–2 tbsp roasted besan or breadcrumbs.
4

Step 3: Shape the Kebabs
1. Take small portions and shape them into tikkis or oval kebabs.
