Kodu Millet Dosa is a flat-bread made using Kodu Millets. Read my post to know what inspired me to cook with millets. Recently I had been to the Organics and millets 2018 International Trade Fair in Bangalore. It was held at Palace grounds. This was the first time that I saw different varieties of millets. I always used ragi or finger millet. But this time I saw different millets like barnyard millet, kodu millet, little millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, etc.
I visited all the stalls and saw different types of millets there. Millets are rich in protein and have numerous health benefits. It protects heart, lowers blood cholesterol, helps in preventing diabetes, improves the immune system and is very good for health. It is also good for babies. If you want to lose weight, eat millets.
So you are now wondering how to cook millets right? I had the same question at the millet fair. They told me to cook it like normal rice. You can make dosas, khichdi, pulaos, etc. with millets. I was wondering how it would taste. Luckily, I got to taste some delicious dishes at the trade fair. I ate millet dosa, millet and methi pulao and millet kheer and was impressed and hence I decided that I will cook with millets every week.
Bottle gourd, kodu, or dudi are eaten widely within the Asian community. They have been cultivated for around 8,000 years. Regular consumption has medical effects including lowering blood sugar, cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Sow seeds in twos in 9 cm pots at 18-22C. Germination is within three weeks. Choose relatively infertile soils with full sun and regular water supply. Kodu is a very vigorous climber and needs substantial support: it will overwhelm bean-poles but can be grown over a sturdy shed. Beautiful large white blossoms appear from July onwards. Male flowers have longer stalks and open first. Female flowers have a baby fruit just behind the petals.
