Pre-Soaked Foxtail Millet

Small flat, one induction plate, one pot. Twenty minutes and it was done. No special equipment required.

Uniform grain size means nothing is raw at the bottom or mush on top. Sounds small, makes a big difference.

Ghee, pepper, cumin and cashew exactly as written. Twenty minutes with no soaking and it came out soft and creamy.

Foxtail with sambar and a vegetable. It does not dry out or clump by the time I eat it.

House function, foxtail mango rice for twenty people. Followed your recipe and scaled the ratio directly. That is a confident product.

Fresh and nutty. Loose millet always smells of the sack it came in. This smells of the grain.

Started as an experiment. Foxtail now sits in the main rice jar and rice has moved to the back of the shelf.

Followed the ratio and timing to the letter and got a perfect result first time. No wasted batch, no guesswork.

Most healthy swaps leave you feeling short changed. This fills the plate and satisfies, which is why it lasted.

Cooked plain, cooled, topped with banana and almonds. It fits a western style breakfast as easily as it fits upma.

He was the sceptic. Now he requests foxtail upma on Wednesdays and takes it in his lunch box.

Ground with urad dal and fermented. Lighter than I expected from a millet batter. Weekly fixture now.

Made your foxtail cutlets and had to add extra besan to hold them. Once I did, they were excellent.

Not a single lump. I dry roasted it out of habit but I do not think it even needed that.

Made your foxtail pongal for forty people. Scaled directly with no adjustment and several took down the brand name.

Used your paniyaram recipe with the leftover idli batter. Crisp shells, soft centres, and they went in minutes.

The switch was painless because the texture is close enough. Nobody at my table has asked for rice back.

It swells considerably while cooking. Once I worked out the per plate cost it made sense against what I pay for good rice.

Followed your foxtail cutlet recipe with leftover cooked grain and potato. Crisp outside, soft inside, and nothing was left on the plate.

Followed your foxtail vegetable upma recipe. Fluffy, flavourful and done before the school bus arrived.

Ground once and used it across three mornings. Same soft idlis each time with no sourness.

Your foxtail vegetable upma recipe, fifteen minutes start to finish. Fluffy, never lumpy.

It went into breakfast, lunch and dinner in different forms. I reordered before the first pack was even empty.

The millet is great and arrived in perfect condition. Just the timeline that slipped, which is why four not five.

Used your vegetable paniyaram recipe. Both plates came back empty and neither of them noticed it was millet.

I used to be useless after a rice lunch. Changed only the grain and my afternoons at work are noticeably sharper.

Cooked it in the morning using your recipe, ate it at four. Still fresh and separate. It handled a warm day better than rice would have.

Cooked a large batch and portioned it. Held texture in the fridge all week without turning to paste.

Leftover cooked foxtail, your bisi bele bath recipe and whatever vegetables were in the fridge. Better than ordering in and ready in twenty minutes.

Cooked it down with jaggery and coconut milk. Thickened perfectly and three people asked what grain it was.

I understand the pre soaking adds work at their end. I use it for one meal a day rather than every meal.

She has bought navane for forty years. She picked up a handful, smelled it and said it was fresh. High praise.

Followed your recipe and it fed nine people comfortably. Two of them asked where I buy the millet.

Made pongal for the neighbourhood. It scaled perfectly and several people took down the brand name.
