  4. Add this to the millet mixture and garnish with chopped chillies, coriander leaves, and pomegranate seeds.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature with a pickle.

*Note: Soak unrefined grains for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the grains cook faster and aids digestion. You can use 2 cups water for 1 cup millet (same as rice) and pressure cook it.
