Millets - the starchy, protein-rich grains, are a nutritional powerhouse rich in antioxidants. Incorporating them into your diet can help manage cholesterol, diabetes, and excess weight. Millets pair wonderfully with paneer and together, they create a breakfast experience that is not only hearty but also brimming with essential nutrients to kick-start your day. Here’s how to prepare the delectable millet and paneer breakfast that promises to tantalize your taste buds and nourish your body:
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
1 cup grated paneer
2 teaspoons of diced green chillies
2 teaspoons of diced ginger
¼ cup of diced capsicum
½ cup of finely chopped onions
¼ cup of coriander leaves
¼ cup of finely chopped spring onion
½ cup potato, after boiling and crumbling it
1 cup millet powder (preferably foxtail millet)
Preparation
Heat two tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan and add the chopped onion, grated ginger, and diced green chillies
Saute the mix until it turns golden brown
Stir in minced capsicum and add half a cup of crumbled, boiled potato
Add one cup of grated paneer and saute the mix well
Add one cup of millet powder as well
Cook until the millet becomes more malleable and easier to shape into a ball
Now set it aside to cool
Cut plantain leaves into suitable circular sizes and rub oil over the surface of each leaf
Evenly distribute the oil with your fingers or using a small brush
Now take a small portion of the prepared batter, spread it on each leaf thickly
Heat a pan, pour a teaspoon of oil into it, and sprinkle some sesame seeds once the oil is hot
Once the seeds fry a bit, put the rolled-out batter onto the pan
Cook it in a low to medium flame, tossing at the halfway stage
Wait until both sides get roasted evenly
Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves over it
Serve them hot
You can enjoy the dish even without any curries
