Millet Nellikai rasam sadam – Healthy one pot rasam sadam recipe using millets – Amla | gooseberry rasam sadam recipe with full video

One-pot rasam sadam is always my go-to comfort meal, especially during this winter season. I posted Rasam sadam recipe in Jeyashris kitchen many years back. This recipe is adapted from my Nellikai rasam. I tried this using millet to make it healthy. As amla | gooseberry | nellikai is in season, let’s make the most of it during the right season.

Nellikai is very rich in Vitamin C, and many people find it difficult to eat it raw as it is very sour. Rather than making pickles, you can make rasam or try out this Rasam Sadam using nellikai. For most South Indians, rasam is a staple and comfort food. Pair it with any favorite vegetable curry and a sutta appalam | roasted papad and enjoy the hot rasam rice.

I have posted so many varieties of rasam recipes in Jeyashris kitchen. You can check out, Paruppu rasam, Lemon rasam, Cauliflower rasam, Kandanthippili rasam

Millet Vegetable soup, a healthy vegetable soup recipe using Indian Millet. Millet Vegetable soup recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

This is a one-pot healthy soup recipe using millet. Soups are very much loved by everyone at home. I wanted to incorporate millet into the everyday meal. Usually, we add corn flour as a thickener in making soups. Here we are adding Indian millet, this not only gives the thickness but also makes it very healthy.

What Millet works well for Soups?

Kodo millet, Little millet, Barnyard millet, foxtail millet, and Proso millet work well for soups. You can use millet flour in the last if you don’t get whole millet. I have tried Ragi flour in a vegetable soup and posted it in the blog too.

Recently I did a cookery Demo in Hongkong, themed millet recipes, to promote the goodness of Indian millet among the local people. The event was organised by Indian Embassy. I will share the recipe for the 2 dishes which I showcased at that event.
