How to cook 

Siridhanya (millets) are unique grains that have fiber in the entire grain, unlike other millets. Therefore, one has to soak the millets overnight or for at least 6 hours to enable the expansion of fiber even in the deeper layers. Soaking time has to be increased to a minimum of 8 hours and a maximum of 12 hours for kids and the elderly. 

• Soak 1 cup of millet to 2 ½ cups of water (can be increased or decreased as per your preference).

• Transfer this water into a clay pot or a steel utensil to cook the millets.

• Once the water starts to boil, add a teaspoon of oil (optional) and cook it on a low flame. A few drops of oil can be added to make the millet fluffy.

The use of clay utensils is recommended over steel utensils as they add a better flavor to the food. Moreover, clay utensils are considered to be unique.
