It has the ability to reduce the blood glucose level and promotes insulin secretion and considered a very good alternative to rice for diabetes patients . Kodo millet is rich in anti oxidants and rich in fiber , which prevents weight gain and ideal for weight management and reduction.

Preparation Time: Under 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Serves : 1 person
INGREDIENTS:
Unpolished Kodo Millet - 1/2 cup
Water - 1.5 cups
Tamarind - lemon sized
Peanuts - a handful
Oil - 2 tablespoon
Mustard -1/2 teaspoon
Urad dal - 1/2 teaspoon
Chana dal - 1 teaspoon
Dry red chilli - 1 no.
White sesame seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Fenugreek powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Chilli powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Asafoetida powder - as required
Salt - as required
METHOD:
1. Wash kodo millet two times and drain the water. In a kadai, add 1.5 cups of water and sprinkle some salt. When it starts to boil, add the kodo millet and when it begins to boil together, reduce the flame to sim, cover with lid and cook for 10 minutes approximately, until all the water is absorbed. Now , switch off the stove and keep it covered for 5 minutes. Transfer the kodo millet to another vessel and let it cool completely.
2. Soak lemon sized tamarind in hot water(1/2 cup of water) for some time and extract the tamarind juice. In a pan, dry roast peanuts and set it aside. Now, add 2 tablespoon of oil. Add mustard, urad dal, channa dal,dry red chilli and white sesame seeds. Once it change colour, add roasted peanuts.
3. Now add the tamarind water . Also add required salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder and fenugreek powder. Allow it to boil well, and the mixture turns thick. Then switch off the stove and sprinkle some asafoetida powder.
4. Now add cooked kodo millet to the tamarind mixture and mix gently. Adjust salt according to your taste. Serve with any dal or raita of your choice.
NOTES:
You can use white kodo millet instead of the unpolished kodo millet which I used. But I would suggest the unpolished one, as it is more healthy and free of chemicals used for polishing it to white.
