Barnyard millet can be a substitute of rice. With this millet, one can prepare a complete meal without any hassle. I have prepared Barnyard millet and mixed with parwal curry and the end result is awesome.

Steps

30mins

1

Soak one cup barnyard millet in 1cup water for at least 1 hour. Rinse it with water. Add 11/2 cup water and cook in a pressure cooker in low flame till whistle blows once. Bring it out from the pressure cooker and allow it to cool down.
2

Cut parwal in thin slices after cutting into half length wise. In a kadhai, add mustard oil and heat it. Add mustard seed, cumin seed, black pepper and bay leaves into the hot oil.Add parwal slices into the hot oil and saute. Add refined oil at this stage, cover the kadhai with lid with occasional stirring till parwal slices turn light golden in color.
3

Add all the spices and mix well. Pour one cup water and cook until the parwals become soft. Switch off the burner. Mix cooked barnyard millet with cooked parwal slices gently.
4

Transfer the millet preparation into a serving plate. I have added coconut paste surrounding the millet and 1 bowl curd with salt, cumin seed powder and chili powder. One can add mango pickle to make the meal more tempting.
