WHAT ARE THE OTHER IMPORTANT BENEFITS? LET US HAVE A LOOK AT IT
- takes very less time to cook.
- takes less water to cultivate. For varagu rice it takes 4000 litres of water to grow one kilogram of rice whereas Millets grow without irrigation.
- By default it is grown as organic by nature and naturally it saves farmers from buying pesticides as it is pest resistant .
- A kg of millets is cheaper than a kg of oats. The biggest benefit is for our country as our country imports and consumes lot of oats as it is high fibre and nutritous food.
- And last but not the least, it fights diabetes and obesity.
One small piece of info - Varagu rice has lots of nutritional values but it also creates body heat. It is better to eat in less frequency especially during summer.
How to Cook Kodo Millet:
- wash the rice three times with tap water
- soak the rice int he pressure cooker with three cups of water
- let it soak for 1/2 hour
- then pressure cook for three whistles
My view on it:
It tasted almost like normal rice i felt i should have increased the water for half a cup but its personal as the recipe calls for only 3:1 proportion
i ate it like normal rice with sambar,rasam and curd and ladies finger fry
in spite of being healthy its taste good ,
i would recommend it to every person who wants to lead a healthy life
