My Notes:
Millets are easy to cook and great to taste. Being talked by everyone and each other supermarket / shops stocking up these millets, it is easily available.
Can try to include a type of millet once a week. Alternate with rice for lunch menu.
This rice dish is very convenient to pack for lunch.
