Varagu arisi ,  samai arisi ,  kuthiraivali

Water to 1. 5 cups

Cooking oil few drops

Thinai rice

Try to buy unpolished millet because its healthier than polished ones. Wash the millet at least twice or thrice. Use a strainer or metal sieve with fine holes to filter it. Some millet may contain husk, dust particles or even small stones. So wash it well. How to cook varagu, samai and kuthiravali.

step 1

In open pan:for 1/2 cup of varagu arisi, measure 1. 25 cups of water (1:2. 5 ratio). No need to soak in water. Heat water in a pan. When it starts to roll boil, simmer the flame completely.

step 2

Add the washed and drained millet to the boiling water. Lower the flame completely. Cover with a lid & cook for 5-7 minutes. Fluff it gently once in the middle using a fork. Cook till all the water is absorbed. Switch off the flame and keep it covered for 10 minutes.

step 3

It will get cooked in the resting time and becomes fluffy. After 10 minutes, you can remove it and serve with any sambar or any kuzhambu or use it for making variety rice. Enjoy!.

step 4

In a open pan:wash the foxtail millet twice to remove the dust. Soak it for minimum 30 minutes. For 1/2 cup of thinai/foxtail millet, heat 1. 5 cups of water. When the water starts to roll boil, add the soaked thinai. Mix well and add a few drops of cooking oil. Cover and cook till all the water is absorbed. Toss it once or twice in the middle. Actually thinai takes long time to cook than other millets. So keep checking for the water content and add 1/4 cup more only if needed.

step 5

In a rice cooker:wash 1/2 cup of foxtail millet and drain the excess water. Soak it for an hour. Boil 1. 5 cups of water and add the millet. Cook it till the lights turn to warm mode. Open the cooker & check if its cooked well. If not, add 1/2 cup more water and cook for some more time.

step 6

Add the washed millet, few drops of cooking oil and mix well. Cover with the lid and pressure cook in very low flame just for one whistle. Make sure flame should be the minimum. It takes nearly 5-7 minutes to cook. If not, cook for 5 minutes in low flame and switch off the flame. Cooking for longer time burns the bottom layer. So keep an eye.

step 7

How to cook kambu/pearl millet:wash the kambu well. Soak in water for 30 minutes. Drain the excess water and spread in a cloth. Let it dry for 5 minutes. Grind it coarsely in a mixie to remove the husk. Sieve it well. Boil 2 cups of water for 1 cup of kambu.
