Foxtail Millet Instant Puliyogare

Here is another dish to add to 'Millet Recipes' repertoire, if one is interested in millet based Indian diet. I have substituted millet for rice in the instant puliyogare here to give it a healthy touch. Instant puliyogare mix is one of the products from MTR that I love. It yields a south Indian style, quick and tasty tamarind rice when mixed with cooked rice. 

Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cup cooked foxtail millet
2 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. peanuts
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tbsp. instant puliyogare powder (I used MTR brand.)
Directions:
* Let the cooked millet cool a bit before using it in the recipe. 
* Heat oil in a pan (There is no need to bring it to smoking point.) and add peanuts and curry leaves. Toast until peanuts turn golden brown. Then add puliyogare powder to the oil and mix quickly. Turn off the stove. 
* Add the cooked millet and mix gently to combine. Taste and add salt if needed and mix once again. 
* Serve immediately.
