Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pearl millet / kambu I used broken kambu
  • 2 cups water

Note: If you have whole kambu then sprinkle little water over it and leave it for 15mins then grind it in a mixer to make it coarse…just 2-3 pulse is enough

    Instructions

    • Rinse the kambu well. Boil 2 cups of water in a thick bottomed vessel when it starts to boil add kambu. Let it boil and cook.
    • Cover and cook in low medium flame. Stir in between to prevent it sticking to the bottom. At one stage the millet will become soft absorbing all the water.
    • Switch off.
    • Serve Kambu Sadam with raw onion or vadams or pickle of your choice or with any kuzhambu of your choice.

    Notes

    • If you prefer eating the millet with grains separated then dry roast raw kambu for few mins then cook it with water. I like my millet a bit mushy so I don’t roast it.
    • The water quantity may slightly increase like, it may take 2 to 2.5 cups depending on the kambu variety.
    • I usually get millets from Nilgiris or any trusted supermarket so that they are clean. Else you need to clean it to check for small stones.
    • You can serve it with any kuzhambu of your choice or sambar or puli kuzhambu.
    • You can even make variety rice like sambar sadam or thayir sadam.
    • It usually gets thick after cooling down so switch off accordingly.
    • If you want to pressure cook then cook it in the ratio 1 cup bajra:3.5 cups water. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles in low medium flame.
    • The water quantity depends on the variety of kambu and method you use to cook kambu.
    • I usually don’t add salt, if you want add it as per your preference.
