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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cook Jowar in a pressure cooker for 4-5 whistles. White rice usually is cooked in 2-3 whistles. Jowar needs twice cooking time.
  4. Make sure Jowar is cooked. If you see any leftover water, discard. Add salt and mix well.
  5. Dice all veggies into ¼th of inch pieces.
  6. Add veggies, salt, lemon juice, oil, chat masala, pepper and black salt to jowar.
  7. Mix well. Garnish with lettuce and cilantro.
  8. Optionally top with green and tamarind chutney.
  9. Serve immediately.
