Oil-free sorghum millet meal

Home > Healthy Recipes > Millets & Grains > Oil-free sorghum millet meal

I made this oil-free dish out of sorghum millet (jowar) and veggies. Jowar is gluten-free, packed with nutrition, and a good alternative to wheat. This dish is a one-pot meal that is high in protein, fiber, iron, vitamins, minerals, and contains no oil.

Ingredients:

1/2 small cup jowar millet

1/4 bottle gourd roughly chopped

2 carrots roughly chopped

2 tomatoes roughly chopped

a small piece of ginger

2 garlic cloves

Dry spices:

1 green chili (optional)

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp jeeravan powder or allspice powder

salt to taste

Method:

Soak jowar (whole seeds) for 5-6 hours in water and then roughly crush in the grinder. Take veggies of your choice and grind them with little water and ginger, garlic, and green chili. I took bottle gourd, carrots, and tomatoes. Put this puree in a pressure cooker without any oil. Let it come to a boil and add dry spices and crushed jowar seeds. Add 2 cups of water. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes on a low flame or till you get 8-10 whistles of the cooker. Let the cooker cool down enough till it's safe to open. Garnish with onion rings if you like :)
