Ingredients

  • 1 cup Kambhu/Kambu/Bajra/Pearl millet
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups of water

Instructions

  • Soak Kambhu/bajra for a minimum of 3-4 hours for easy cooking. You can even quick soak in hot water for an 2 hours prior to cooking.
  • Wash the soaked bajra well for 3 or 4 times. In a pressure cooker, take 4 cups of water, let it come to a rolling boil, add salt and the washed bajra to it.
  • Let the water begin to boil again, now close the pressure cooker, put the whistle on and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles. Let the pressure drop on its own.
  • The bajra must have well cooked and soft with all the water absorbed. Serve it warm with your regular sambhar/rasam and curd.
  • I had it with keerai sambhar and curd for today's lunch. Not to forget the pickle!!! :)
