Natural Kodo Millet 500g | Ancient Grain

Kodo millet. A mild, versatile ancient grain you can cook just like rice.

Kodo millet (kodra / varagu) has been grown in India for thousands of years. It has small, light-brown grains and a mild, slightly nutty flavour, so it slips easily into dishes where you'd normally use rice. It's traditionally milled, with no additives or preservatives.

How to use it

• Basic cooking: Rinse 2–3 times. Cook 1 cup of millet with 2½ cups of water, covered, for 15–20 minutes until the water is absorbed, then rest for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.
• Pulao and khichdi: Use in place of rice in your usual recipe.
• Upma and pongal: Temper with mustard seeds, curry leaves and vegetables.
• Porridge and salads: Cook soft with milk and jaggery, or cool and toss with vegetables and lemon.

Soaking for 1–2 hours before cooking gives a softer texture.
