​Culinary Uses
​This versatile rava is designed to be a direct substitute for refined wheat semolina or rice rava, adding a rustic, nutty depth to traditional dishes.
 
​Foxtail Millet Idli: Substitute rice rava with this millet rava. When mixed with fermented urad dal batter, it produces soft, airy idlis that are incredibly light on the stomach.
 
​Millet Uppittu/Upma/Khara Bhath: Sauté with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and crunchy vegetables. The unpolished nature of the grain ensures the Upma stays "khila-khila" (grainy) rather than becoming a paste.
 
​Millet Pongal: Cook the rava with split yellow moong dal, ginger, and black pepper for a comforting, one-pot meal that is perfect for breakfast or a light dinner.
​Millet Sheera/Kesari: Use it to make a healthier dessert by cooking it with organic jaggery, cardamom, and roasted nuts.
