Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 cup Jowar | Sorghum grain
¼th cup diced red bell pepper
¼th cup diced orange bell pepper
¼th cup diced green bell pepper - optional
¼th cup diced celery
¼th cup diced red onion
¼th tsp shaved lettuce - optional
1 tbs grated raw mango - optional
Salt
Pepper
2 tsp - healthy oil as olive oil
1 tsp - freshly squeezed lemon juice
⅕th tsp - chat masala
½ tsp black salt
Cilantro
Instructions
Soak Jowar grains for at-least 4 hours. Drain water, add 1½ cups water to Jowar. Place in a steel bowl. Add water to the bottom of pressure cooker. Place the bowl in the pressure cooker. Do not add salt before cooking.
Jowar cooks slowly. A pressure cooker works best. If you don't own a pressure cooker, you can cook in a pot. I never cooked in a pot, so I am not sure how long it takes to cook.
Cook Jowar in a pressure cooker for 4-5 whistles. White rice usually is cooked in 2-3 whistles. Jowar needs twice cooking time.
Make sure Jowar is cooked. If you see any leftover water, discard. Add salt and mix well.
Dice all veggies into ¼th of inch pieces.
Add veggies, salt, lemon juice, oil, chat masala, pepper and black salt to jowar.
Mix well. Garnish with lettuce and cilantro.
Optionally top with green and tamarind chutney.
Serve immediately.
