Kodo Millet (Varagu / Kodra) - Ekgaon - 500 g

Kodo millet is a traditional Indian millet known as varagu in Tamil, arikelu in Telugu, harka in Kannada and kodra or kodon in Hindi. It is a small grain with a mild, slightly nutty taste, and it can be used in place of rice or wheat in many everyday dishes. Wash the millet, soak it for a short while and cook it like rice to serve with sambar, dal or curry. It also works well in South Indian dishes such as varagu pongal, upma, khichdi and lemon rice, and can be ground and mixed into idli and dosa batter. Kodo millet is one of the older grains of central and southern India, grown for generations by small farmers. This pack is sold by Ekgaon, from its Mandla unit. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Available in a 500 g pack.
