Millet porridge is great to eat...with milk and sugar/honey/cinnamon for taste. It's no different from oatmeal the grain of choice in Western societies. It's widely eaten in Africa and Asia. I like the way you prepared this one, fluffy.
@@VarunKumar-bc7vr I don't think so. I was searching for easy recipe like oats. I don't have to cook oats, just add yogurt/milk, raisins, banana, nuts and have it in an easy way. Maybe you have to soak millet for 6 hours before cooking. Without cooking it's not ok to eat maybe. Anyway I haven't found a single easy recipe as oats as it's the only recipe for those whose in hurry. Cornflakes are processed, stay away from it.
I prefer to soak the millet under cold water and let it stand during the Night. I use 1 cup to two cups of water and boil it in the morning. I experimented to find this ratio and I find that very tasty
I think I will be joining you on your 30 day gluten free challenge. Breads or anything like that make me feel horrible so I have been slowly cutting it out of my diet. Here's to us! Love your channel and blog by the way
Looks great! Thanks for sharing this. I have been using true elements multigrain flakes as they are rich in millets like jowar and bajra and are extremely healthy.
Yay for Gluten-Free month!!! I've been gluten-free for over a year now, and it's awesome! I just heard about Millet being GF the other day, so I'm excited to try it!
I am planning to try using Millet... (and to order next time with Vitacost. ) I had an amazing carrot millet baked dish.. many years ago in Montreal.. with cinnamon / ginger in it. Kind of sweet and savory at the same time. Thanks !
Olga!! Can you please make a recipe with buckwheat?? I've tried your Mediterranean quinoa recipe and I'm in love. Thank you :-) how can I make the clear green juice into a smoothie? I heart your recipes!!!
Love how you brought the background in it! You might have also explained the benefits of not having gluten and what your reasons are for doing it! 😁 Gluten is a protein which as the name of it says 'Glue' ten has a tendency of sticking like a glue once consumed but not fully processed and making it more difficult for your body to absorb other nutrients, vitamins and minerals, which you have in this meal. Nit considering that we all have a different metabolism so this might not be a huge issue with everyone. But anyway you have a lovely voice and you seem to enjoy these videos alot so keep it on girl!
Some people with celiac disease cannot stand gluten.. Meaning it makes their stomach hurt like lactose intolerant people.... Some others just do it for the waisgline benefits... I personally deteste bread with gluten because it gives me bad breath and gooey phlegm.. So I opt for gluten free bread.
Millets have 5,6 varieties. In India,it started gaining popularity again as magic food. It was a poor man's food decades ago,it can easily substitute expensive quinoa today.
Millet is so good and nutritious. Just make sure you are eating the right types of millet. Pearl millet can damage the thyroid gland but most other types such as proso millet don't.
0:34 "Millet is a seed although some people confuse is for a grain". Well that's a distinction without a difference. All grains are technically seeds. I'm not sure what makes millet unique from any other common grains. It belongs to the Poaceae family which includes wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, rice etc.
First time Millet user here! Do you keep the same ratio of 2-1 (water-millet) either if you previous soak it than if you cook it instantly? Thanks a lot in advance! You're very cute, Olga!
Hello Olga I love all ur recipe's! I am trying to give gluten a rest too but it is sooo hard lol. I hope u will share more healthy gluten free recipe's with us. Thanks!!
I soaked my Millet for 8 hours, as the recipe said, but I don’t think the amount of water of 1/2 cup to cook the millet was not enough to come to boiling…it started scorching, I ended up adding almost 1 more cup to finish cooking.
So I have birds and have tons of millet. I soaked some millet in water overnight and the next day they sprouted like 5mm up. How does yours not grow after being soaked lol
Hi Olga! I was just wondering, how you would cook it if you soak it? What's the best way to get it nice and fluffy? I bought some today and tried microwaviing it, then boiled it for a few minutes but some how I don't think it was cooked properly.
How about those veggie burgers you mentioned in the video? That would be very good. I tried going gluten free once...couldn't last a week. Maybe I did it the wrong way; maybe I'll try it again later on...still, great idea and don't be afraid but I love your voice, is very soothing and pretty =)
Not from India..but India have 5 different kinds of millet..from south to North. Ethiopia has been the birthplace of millets since 80,000 years ago if not more.
Actually it's originated in India . Thousand years ago , due to colonization of British people used to paddy more than millets . So many millets are there Kodo , Foxtail and much more . There's food reaserch scientist called Dr Khadar for furthermore information.
I love gluten and I love millet. I would eat a whole bowl of gluten because it has absolutely no effect on people that don't have celiac's disease, a life threatening condition.
Hey Rebecca! I've known how to cook millet for ages. My grandma used to make it for me when I was a child all the time. But only recently I started to incorporate it more and more in my diet. I find inspiration for recipes everywhere: family recipes, restaurants, Pinterest, while I trave. It's always fun to try new things :)
Wow, I never heard of millet before! When you showed it as bird food it was funny because I remember having to get that for my dads birds lol! Does it have a particular taste to it? I'm going to try to find some this week at the store :)
Yeah, millet is not well-known in some countries. It's truly unfortunate because it's SO GOOD for us. I used to eat it all the time when we lived in Russia, but kinda forgot about it once we moved to Canada. I'm so happy to re-discover it again. :) Millet doesn't have a very strong flavour. I find it a bit nutty and sweet. If I plan on eating millet all by itself, I sometimes cook it in a veggie broth to enhance the flavour. And if it's going into a salad, soup or veggie burger, I just use water.
OK! 1 question coming up... I've read on some interenet sources that consuming millet on a daily basis can mess with your Thyroid and my even lead to goiter disease. Since I want to have gluten free meals so how can we deal with this if it's true? Also how minimally should it be consumed... Please if someone can shed light on this?
4 years late to answer but here goes anyway. I'm fairly sure millet is fine for regular consumption as it's a staple in many places around the world (breakfast, lunch and dinner), and overall the people eating it don't seem to have issues. I think as long as you're not eating it more than once a day it's completely fine. If your worried about your thyroid don't forget to eat enough selenium, zinc and iodine. You can source your selenium from just one brazil nut, your zinc from foods like chia seeds and your iodine from seaweeds, like dulse, or iodised salt.
Since I started eatint millet my feathers have come out nicely
😁
can you fly come to vancouver nice place

Can we blend this raw directly just like oats?

Millet originated in the Yellow River Valley around 5500 BCE, but it was also found in Africa around the same time, or 2000 BCE.
Yes, it was a staple grain in ancient China before wheat.
Thank you for educating us!
👍💚

👍💚
Millet is one of the few plant foods that is a complete protein source as it contains all the essential amino acids
I have to try this!
Thanks for the video 👍🏼
May I know water millet proportion?
For one cup millet, is it one cup water?
thanks for the video, but a question what kind of Millet did you used?
You have not mentioned the water ratio?
You didn’t say how many cups of water to put in it
today for lunch i will prepare millet :)
very nice video
She’s the top G. No but seriously your method is very advanced ❤
lol i love her sense of humor

please explain it i want to try
Seeds are grains in the same way that pig is pork. One is “the thing” and the latter is “what we call the thing when we wanna raise it to eat it”

Good comment.
Taught something.
Can we use bird seed?

Thanks for sharing and will order some right away for health.🙏

Very good information

@1:12 is where the video actually starts...
Your video seems really-well made... but why did you not tell us how much water you use?!
Wow great information!!
Hi Olga! I was just wondering, how you would cook it if you soak it? What's the best way to get it nice and fluffy?
I bought some today and tried microwaviing it, then boiled it for a few minutes but some how I don't think it was cooked properly.
I am an indian, millets full potential can b enjoyed only if u soak them over night 🌙 .
1132-Sri aparna Deepti yes soaking and cooking; no microwave or it destroys the nutrition of the grain.
How about those veggie burgers you mentioned in the video? That would be very good. I tried going gluten free once...couldn't last a week. Maybe I did it the wrong way; maybe I'll try it again later on...still, great idea and don't be afraid but I love your voice, is very soothing and pretty =)
Indian been eating for thousands of years. I thought it originally from India.
Not from India..but India have 5 different kinds of millet..from south to North.
Ethiopia has been the birthplace of millets since 80,000 years ago if not more.
How does it taste? We Indonesians survive on rice and rice alone.
I tried to make this way but it got burnt. it would e nice if you tell the amount of water and millet.
Actually it's originated in India . Thousand years ago , due to colonization of British people used to paddy more than millets . So many millets are there Kodo , Foxtail and much more . There's food reaserch scientist called Dr Khadar for furthermore information.
It originated in Africa over 4000 years ago.
How much water did you use for the amount of Millet? when I try it becomes mushy.
two parts water for every part of millet
Thank you😄
I love gluten and I love millet. I would eat a whole bowl of gluten because it has absolutely no effect on people that don't have celiac's disease, a life threatening condition.
Can one add pepper sauce to eat it like rice
We have the same pot! Yey! :-)

How do you cook Buckwheat Groats?
I love Barbie 🥰..and millet too.
Thank you
best way to cook quinoa, please
So it's like rice I wonder if I use it like sweet rice.
Thank you
I have bought millet before and even in a pressure cooker it stayed hard and indigestible 🤔 is it a different type which isn't suitable for eating ?
Need to add more water.
Does anyone know if it tastes like rice??
It looks like it 😋
Jessie Landin
It is almost like rice, I like it.
@@PeaceOnEarth39 can you cook it in a rice cooker?

Hey Olga how do you ever find these amazing recipes
Hey Rebecca! I've known how to cook millet for ages. My grandma used to make it for me when I was a child all the time. But only recently I started to incorporate it more and more in my diet.
I find inspiration for recipes everywhere: family recipes, restaurants, Pinterest, while I trave. It's always fun to try new things :)
omg thats sooo cool!

Да Юля!

Can I cook millets in pressure cooker.?
Do I still have to soak it overnight.?
Which Millet is it? Barnyard, fox tail, pearl, little or any other?
I would love to see a veggie burger recipe :)
I'm filming the recipe next week. It is way too delicious to not share with you guys
Please specify the millet used. Is that Kodo millet or Foxtail millet?????
It seems very similar to quinoa, even the cooking process is the same! :)
Yep, the cooking process is very similar. The flavour is quite different though :)
I ve tried both and millet is excellent.
Great grain to have in your emergency food supply - you can live off of it alone for a long time.
In theory but not for me. It's kinda bitter, it just doesnt taste good. Sweet or salty I cant finish a plate
Troll McBloom Not the millet i ate. Definitely not bitter You must’ve gotten some bad millet. I bought Red Mill.
Does millet soften up pretty well from soaking? I prefer to avoid cooking foods if i can.
Yes
Millet looks like rice :)
Good idea 👍👍👍👍

Anyone please,if I soak overnight or for 6-7 hrs in hot water, is it ok.?
Ugh. The way she said "veggie burgers" made me crave a veggie burger, lol.
Thanks!! Love your videos ; )
Let us know how the gluten-free challenge goes!
Yes yes
Thanks for this. Your presoaked recipe calls for 1 cup presoaked millet and 1/2 cup water for cooking. Is that correct?
Should be 1 1/2 cups actually.
Mine turned out like a dry but sticky stodge. It was nice but just not how I expected. Is this normal?
2,years later….
Yes, It’s normal
If sticky does not do it for you, use it in soup, blend it for smoothies or just break it with fork
@@LenkaSaratoga Better late than never, hey. Now I finally know. Thanks.
I'm looking for a formula for millet steamed buns. Chinese style. Does anyone hv one to share?🤗
how much water to 1 cup millet?
It is foxtail millet?
Add water - how much? - you don't say.
is it the same ratio as with rice?
superb ! keep it up
Which variety of millet is this?
which millet is this? i heard there are several types.
How much water Olga!!
What millet did you use ??
This looks like rice. Do u think it would be a good subtitude for rice? Just cause I'm Asian.
Disliked as the presentation didn't mention water to millet ratio. Even the description doesn't have a mention of it
