Samai upma kozhukattai recipe | Little millet recipes

I love upma kozhukattai. Make rarely though. We make upma kozhukattai with broken rice and toor dal, usually. But tried with moong dal this time as it will get easily cooked. Used samai (Little millet in English, Kutki in Hindi, Sama in telugu, Same in Kannada, Chama in Malayalam) for making upma kozhukattai today. No need to break rice . As millets are small grains, we can cook as such without grinding. If you want in Singapore organic millets, you can buy online through Bhairavi naturals.
