Millet Pulao with Leek and Vegetables is a treat to our tastebuds. This is very much Indian except for the use of Leek. A super healthy comfort meal for the whole family. Not only is it healthy, it tastes absolutely delicious. With everyone's favourite Veggies and Leek for an excellent twist, it would be loved by all. Children as well as the adults both would enjoy it.
And regarding the soaking of Millets, it's highly recommended as soaking for at least half an hour removes Phytic acid present in them. And also makes it fluffier and tastier. As for the amount of water to be used for cooking them, use in 1:2 ratio for best results. For every one cup of Millet, use 2 cups of water. Instead of water, it can be cooked in Vegetable stock as well. Or use a seasoning cube instead. It's absolutely one's own choice.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
