Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat the heavy-bottomed pan on medium flame and add coconut oil or ghee.
- Once warm, add the dried little millet and mix well so every grain gets coated in oil.
- Cover the pan with a lid and keep the flame medium-low. The millet will start popping after a minute.
- Let it pop fully. Shake the pan lightly a few times to avoid burning.
- Switch off the gas once the popping slows down. Add turmeric and salt. Mix gently.
- Serve warm as a healthy, crunchy snack.
Notes
Make sure the millet is completely dry before cooking. Slight moisture can prevent popping. You can add pepper, chaat masala, or roasted jeera for variations.
