Millet curry/pilaf
I made this in Kazan from stuff on the shelf. The last occupant left some millet groats, golden raisins and banana chips. Don't remember the last time I cooked millet. Still, if I can't make a decent curry-spiced pilaf out of that, then take away my chef's card!
- 4 small onions, coarsely chopped
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 tbsp of curry powder
- Maybe a tsp of black pepper
- Some salt
- 1 cup of banana chips
- 1 cup of yellow raisins
- 2 cups of millet
- 5 cups of hot water
Softened the onions in olive oil. Added garlic, fried a moment. Added curry powder. Cooked a bit. Added millet, hot water, raisins, banana chips. Boiled a while. Tasted the liquid. Added pepper & salt. Boiled till the millet was about al dente.
I had wanted this to be a pilaf, and indeed the millet came out fine without being mushy. Not quite a pilaf, but still very tasty.
