I used:
Barnyard millet- 1/4 cup
Mixed parboiled vegetables- as needed [ I used carrots, beans,cauliflower and potato]
Sambar powder- 11/2 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Boil 4 cups of water in a pan and when it stats boiling add sambar powder and salt.Put in the millet and cover and cook on medium flame till the millet is cooked.
Add the vegetables and mix well and cook for another 5 minutes on medium flame. Add more water if needed to get the porridge consistency.Remove from heat and serve with a side dish of your choice.
Note:
- Usually 3 cups of water is sufficient to cook the millet. I added 4 cups to get a semi solid consistency.
- You can use any masala of your choice instead of sambar powder like garam masala,pav bhaji masala etc.
This was the spoonful that I got to taste….I loved it with pickle. Will have to make some more in the coming days to really savor it all by myself ๐

Nice presentation! I have not tasted barnyard millet but I do like sweet oats porridge. However, I can not eat the sweet version on a daily basis. Masala barnyard millet porridge looks good.
Looks delicious porridge ……. Yummm!

Very nice one PJ..I would surely want to make this..even I don't prefer sweet dish for breakfast..:)

Not a fan of any porridge other than the cream wheat one. Your presentation is great. Millets can be used in so many ways.
