Risotto is a popular rice dish of Italian cuisine cooked with starchy short grain rice called Arborio and broth until it's creamy and luscious. The broth can be of Vegetables, Meat or Fish. In this one, I have used Maggi seasoning cube instead. And have blended in fresh boiled Green Peas for a more creamier texture with Barnyard Millet.
Millets and their beneficial properties are known to everyone. It is rich in Fiber, is gluten free and popularly known for it's high levels of Protein, Calcium, Iron, Minerals and Vitamin B complex. Barnyard Millet or Sanwa Rice is rich in Phenols and Flavanoids which makes it a superior source of Antioxidants that are essential for maintaining a good health, skin and hair. Overall a perfect Lunchbox idea, a healthy Brunch idea and a super delicious comfort food of all times, this is a sure shot hit.

Shiitake and Asparagus Risotto Shiitake and Asparagus Risotto
I use dried shiitake because the flavor gets intensified during the drying process. It also let's me rehydrate in the warm stock and add some of that flavor to the rice itself. It's creamy and rich enough to stand as a meal on its own or make a great compliment to chicken or steak.

Saffron Risotto Saffron Risotto
For years we would watch so many TV shows showing risotto and always wanted to make it home. So at first we ventured off to many Italian restaurants to try to find the perfect one. It took about 10 stops before we found a great tasting one, we just wanted a bit more vibrant color so we added some saffron.We took a classic risotto and just made a few adjustments to give it a little flair. Some of the additions are saffron and a touch of cayenne pepper in the broth.

Basic Risotto Basic Risotto
Risotto is one of those basic dishes that is great to have in your back pocket for quick dinners, and using up leftovers. Once you have the basic technique mastered, you can make it as fancy or as casual as you like.TIPS: The basic ratio for risotto is 1 part uncooked rice to 3.5 parts liquid. This will include your stock, wine and any additional liquid you are using. Keep an additional 0.5 parts liquid in reserve, as various rices absorb slightly different amounts of liquid.Most risotto recipes call for wine and stock as the liquid, but you can also make "stock" on the fly with dried mushrooms and aromatics such as carrots and celery, added at the beginning of the process with the onions.A little fat added at the end in the form of butter and/or a bit of grated hard cheese will really help give a creamy finish to your risotto.

Mushroom Risotto Mushroom Risotto
This is a very good and delicious dish. But....it's not fast food. Be prepared to stand there and stir the rice for about 20 minutes (a few minutes more more if you use more rice!). But you'll be rewarded with a most delicious, silky smooth rice dish!!
