What is a millet ?
Millet is a small cereal that belongs to the grass family, Poaceae. It was first grown in Africa, soon spread to Asia. Different varieties of millets are grown in the world.

Millet is rich in nutrients. It is rich in dietary fibre and contains minerals as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, selenium as well as vitamins like folate, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, Vitamin B6, C, E and K. The high fibre content found in it helps to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) while boosting good cholesterol(HDL). The phosphorous content helps the body to repair itself and also in the formation of cells. The iron and folate helps prevent anaemia by maintaining adequate hemoglobin levels. The millets are usually prepared from the whole meal, the nutrients are retained in the food that is consumed.

About the event:
In the month of April, the theme at Shhhhh Secretly Cooking Challenge is Millets, it was suggested by Aruna Saras Chandra, a wonderful blogger at Vasus Veg Kitchen. I liked her bread gulab jamun, it is a quick-fix sweet that you can make. I love cooking with millets and jumped the bandwagon. My partner was Narmadha from Nams Corner, she gave me oil and coriander as the secret ingredients and I decided to make this Instant Ragi Dosa. I gave her salt and sugar and the outcome is the delicious Foxtail Millet Sweet Pongal,
Instant Ragi Dosa comes as a rescue, you can make it easily and it is a straight forward recipe.
