Kodo Millet Upma is a magnificent and high-quality breakfast alternative to the traditional semolina version. Kodo millet, known for its magnifique nutty flavor and high fiber content, makes this dish incredibly healthy and satisfying. We slow-cook the millet with crunchy vegetables and a classic tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves. It is a symbol of the modern shift towards ancient grains that provide sustained energy throughout the day. The taste is remarkably clean—savory, earthy, and carrying a beautiful toasted scent. I love serving this steaming hot with a dollop of fresh coconut chutney on the side.
