Start your day out right with nourishing millet! These nutritious breakfast ideas combine taste and wellness in every bite to keep you full and energized.
Nutrient-rich and adaptable, millet is a staple in many healthful diets. It’s devoid of gluten, packed with fiber, and full of important minerals like phosphorus and magnesium. Dr. Dimple Jangda, an Ayurvedic and Gut Health Coach, just published these filling breakfast recipes on Instagram. They offer a good combination of fiber, protein, and carbohydrates to keep you feeling full and energized all day.
1. Millet Breakfast Bowl: Combine cooked millet with cooked lentils or beans and sautéed veggies. Add spices and herbs for flavor.
2. To make millet porridge, boil millet grains (such pearl or foxtail millet) in water. Add honey or other sweeteners. For extra protein, add some nuts and seeds.
3. To make millet upma, sauté bell peppers, carrots, and peas along with mustard seeds and curry leaves. After adding the cooked millet, season with more spices, turmeric, and salt. Add cilantro as a garnish.
4. Millet Idli or Dosa: Allow finger millet and a small amount of urad dal to ferment overnight. Cook the fermented batter as dosas or idlis. Accompany with wholesome coconut chutney.
Make sure you rinse the millet well to get rid of any debris or bitter ingredients. To minimize anti-nutrients such as phytic acid and promote better digestion, you can choose to soak millet before cooking.
