Barnyard Millet

Barnyard millet is a small, creamy white millet known by many names across India: sanwa or samak ke chawal in Hindi, jhangora in Uttarakhand, kuthiraivali in Tamil and oodalu in Kannada. Like other millets, it is naturally gluten-free. Many North Indian homes cook samak rice on Navratri and other vrat (fasting) days, as samak khichdi, pulao or kheer. It cooks in about 10 minutes and can replace rice in everyday meals, or be used for upma, pongal, dosa batter, porridge and puddings. Rinse the grains well before cooking; one cup of millet usually needs two to two and a half cups of water. This listing has barnyard millet from several farmer producer companies, including Permarthi Prakrutik Kisan Fed, Satpudanchal and Wayanad Hills. Pack photos may differ by seller.
