Foxtail millet (Navane) and Broken Oats Vegetable Pulav

-

Millets are great for health conscious people. It should be a part of daily diet.  Here I have used Foxtail Millet also known as Navane in Kannada and Kangni/Kakum in Hindi.

Foxtail millet is rich in dietary fibre, protein, healthy micros (vitamin and minerals) and low in fat. Studies show that people who consume foxtail millet in their diet have a lower probability of suffering from diabetes.

Here I have made it more healthier adding lots of vegetables.

Chicken Uruval or Urval is a famous and delicious Mangalorean dish. It is very simple to prepare, yet very rich in taste. It is a spicy, tangy and very flavorful dish mostly served as an appetizer. This dish has very less ingredients. The main taste of this dish is from the masala paste prepared using red chillies, cashewnuts and few whole spices. Paste should be fried properly in butter. I just marinated the chicken and cooked with the paste. But in restaurants they deep fry the chicken pieces.
