  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

Instructions

  • Measure and get ready with your ingredients. Soak sorghum overnight. Pressure cook for at least 7-8 whistles along with enough water and required salt in medium flame or until it becomes soft.
  • It should be soft but crunchy. Drain water and set aside. Boil water and add chana dal.

Notes

  • Sorghum millet takes time to cook so pressure cook accordingly. It took me 8 whistles.
  • You can add sundal podi for flavour and drizzle coconut oil at the last for extra flavour.
  • You can replace chana dal with boiled peanuts or lobia or even boiled sweet corn etc.
