Barnyard Millet Pasta (Sanwa Millet Pasta) - SPNF - 200 g

This pasta is made with barnyard millet, a small-grained millet known as sanwa or samvat in Hindi, jhangora in Uttarakhand and kuthiraivali in Tamil. Using millet gives the pasta a mildly nutty flavour while it cooks and is served just like regular pasta. Boil the pasta in salted water until just tender, drain and toss it with your choice of sauce and vegetables. It works well in Indian-style masala pasta with onion, tomato, capsicum and spices, in red tomato sauce or creamy white sauce pasta, and in cold pasta salads. Kids' lunchboxes and quick evening meals are easy to put together with it. Take care not to overcook, as millet pasta can soften faster than wheat pasta. This barnyard millet pasta is made and sold by SPNF Super FPO, a farmer producer organisation that works directly with millet farmers. Available in a 200 g pack.
