Cooking Steps
Rinse the barnyard millet and soak it in water for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add chopped onions, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds and green chili. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
Add chopped bell pepper, carrot, green peas, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
Drain the water from the soaked millet and add the millet to the pan. Mix well.
Add water and stir well. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes until the millet is cooked and the water is absorbed.
If required, you can spray some water to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
