Recipe: Bethica's Foxtail Millet Uttapam

March 13, 2024 13:05 IST

Bethica Das would like you to start your day healthy with Foxtail Millet Uttapams. Once the batter is ready, this speedy breakfast takes less than 10 minutes to make and can be accompanied with any chutney of your choice and/or sambar.

"The wonder grain (foxtail millet) is both diabetic and heart-friendly," says the Sharjah-based food blogger. "It's a great substitute to rice and has a lot of health benefits and antioxidants."

She suggest you to go wild with your imagination and add toppings you never thought of before -- "For a non-vegetarian version, try boiled and shredded chicken or cooked kheema, sausages, etc."

Her millet uttapams can be feasted on for brunch, tiffin, tea-time, lunch or as a light dinner.

Millets are often featured in Bethica's recipes. Have you attempted creating her: Pongal With Lentils, Oats, MilletsChicken Porridge With Millets or Millet Cutlets?
