  • 1 teaspoon Mustard paste
  • to taste Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil

Instructions

  • Pressure cook pearl millet for 4-5 whistles, or if you are cooking it in normal pot it will take about 45 minutes to cook it.
  • Just make sure that grains are still chewy and not mushy.
  • Let the millet cool down and then proceed with mixing the salad. You can cook the millets and keep the in the refrigerator too. So that whenever you want a quick meal you can toss it with few ingredients and make a quick meal of it.
  • Take a big bowl and mix all ingredients of salad and keep it aside.
  • In a small bowl whisk all salad ingredients together and pour it in salad bowl.
  • Toss everything together and serve it. You can top it with more pomegranate if you are pom lover like me.
