Ingredients
- proso millet grits — 30 g (washed)
- water — 140 ml (for an open pan; 160 ml in a pressure cooker)
Method
- Bring the water to a boil in a heavy pan.
- Add the washed grits while stirring all the time so no lumps form.
- Keep cooking and stirring until the grits are cooked through and the mass is thick, about 14 to 18 minutes in an open pan.
- Turn it out onto a wet plate and shape it into a round ball with damp hands. Serve hot with dal or curry.
Tips
- General practice: scale up in the same proportion of grits to water; one 30 g portion makes a single small ball.
