Points To Observe:

Korra Biyyam (Foxtail Millet) is a staple diet of rural people. After getting recognized as diabetic food this millet became popular even in urban areas. This millet is rich in dietary fiber and minerals such as copper and iron, protein and low in fat. Unlike rice, foxtail millet releases glucose steadily without affecting the metabolism of the body.

For one cup of millet take two cups of water when making daddojanam. If making pulao types with this millet use less water to make it appear grainy and not mushy.

Add few vegetables and prepare this millets daddojanam and it becomes a full meal.

After making this daddojanam serve immediately as the millets absorb moisture from curd and becomes thick when kept aside for some time. Otherwise add some buttermilk and mix and serve if serving later.

I prefer to have this daddojanam chilled but it can also be had immediately after making it.

Make different healthy varieties using the millet and enjoy its health benefits.

Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
