Millet Pulao or Tehri is a mildly spiced one Pot ,Turmeric Rice with vegetables.Healthy Foxtail Millet Tehri is a version that uses Millets instead of Rice.

The taste and texture is spot on and you will not feel like you have “healthified” a classic recipe.In fact this will become a classic home recipe once you make it.

What is Millet Pulao?

Replacing Rice with Millets makes this a wholesome meal- full of fibre and omega 6’s without the extra carb burden.If you want to read more about Millets – read my post on How to Introduce Millets in our diets.This post will give you a detailed comparison of different millets with respect of Rice and Wheat.

Growing up we ate so much of Pulao that it’s almost a part our food fabric.

A typical Pulao is made in the pressure cooker with seasonal vegetables like Cauliflower, peas and carrots but it can be easily made on stove top or in the instant pot too.I have given both those recipes.

Millets- Foxtail Millets or Kodo Millets

Spices and Herbs

Whole Spices- Cloves and Bay leaves

Powdered Spices- Turmeric,Chilli powder,Garam Masala

Feel free to omit a spice that you dont have at hand.

Vegetables
