Cooks in: 20 Minutes Serves: 2 People

Bathua leaves are available in plenty during winter season. I have already shared paratha recipe with these leaves. If the cooked millet is ready, this delicious and nutritious dish can be made in no time. I used Kodo Millet for this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup washed and chopped bathua leaves (packed)
• 1/2 Cup cooked and cooled Kodo Millet/Varagu airsi
• 2 Tbsp boiled fresh green peas
• 1/4 Cup thinly sliced Onion
• 1/2 Tsp Salt

Seasoning:

• 1 Tbsp Oil
• 1 Tbsp Raw Peanuts
• 2 Red Chillies
• 1 Slit Green Chilli
• 1/2 Tsp Mustard Seeds
• 1/2 Tsp Chana Dal
• 1/2 Tsp Urad Dal
• 1/8 Tsp Asafoetida Powder

Directions:

1. In a pan add oil and do the seasoning.
2. Add onion and saute till it becomes soft and transparent
3. Add the chopped leaves and saute for 2 minutes on low heat. Switch off.
4. Add the cooked millet, boiled peas and mix thoroughly.
5. Serve with a side dish of your choice.

Note:

1. Kodo Millet can be replaced with Foxtail/Little/Barnyard Millet.
