Millet Salad

சிறுதானிய சாலட்

By Ganesan Kannan

35 mins Serves 4 Medium Kongu

A crisp, no-cook millet salad built around 1 cup cooked foxtail millet, finished with a South Indian mustard tempering.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Wash and prepare 1 cup cooked foxtail millet — chop, grate or cube as the recipe needs.

  2. 2

    Cook the millet with a little extra water, fluff and cool it fully so the grains stay separate in the salad.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil, crackle mustard and urad dal with curry leaves, and pour this tempering over the mix.

  4. 4

    Add salt and the dressing only just before serving, and toss lightly with your fingertips.

  5. 5

    Serve the millet salad fresh and cool as a side with rice or as a light meal on its own.
