Proso millet upma, Millet recipes

Proso millet is one of the healthiest and delicious small, starchy grain that pale yellow or whitish in color. Proso millet/ broom corn millet is called Panivaragu in Tamil / Barri in Hindi / Varigulu in Telugu / Baragu in Kannada. Call it any name it has rich source of dietary fiber, vitamin B, protein, calcium and magnesium. So much goodness from one millet/ grain so why not add it our diet?

I added few veggies like carrot and peas to make it mire healthy and delicious also colorful which can be skipped too as the upma is itself healthy.
