- Add the millet and give a quick stir. Add 1 and 1/2 cups of water.
- Pressure cook for 5 whistles in low medium flame. Once pressure releases open and cool down completely. Then add water.
- Then add milk .Mash it well with a ladle. I used my electric blender to blend it.

Notes
- The soup thickens faster so while serving you can add hot water / milk to make it runny.
- At the final stage use a hand blender or just mash it well with a laddle.Don't use a mixie to grind, it will make a paste which we don't want...also it will change the taste of the soup.
- Adding oregano / mixed herbs lifts the taste of this soup.
- You can add any vegetable of your choice.
