Millets in our lives have come a full circle. We knew of them as bird feed or horse staples. Back in the day, these used to be relished in Indian homes, and what was leftover would be fed to the animals. Wheat and wheat flour might be more pliable and easy to use, but these millets from the yesteryears are making a serious comeback. Packed to a punch, these help you stock up on your daily vitals: carbs, vitamins and proteins and energy. Not to mention a host of minerals and roughage that's ever so vital for human beings. So we bring for you the millets in its most evergreen avatar - Khichadi.
