This gluten-free grain is a staple in Asia and India. As gluten-free food demand is on the rise, millet is now hero in western countries. Step back on processed foods marketed as gluten-free. They either lack key nutrients or loaded with chemicals. A variety of millets are available. They can be cooked like rice, pasta or to a creamy texture like grits. Whichever fits your preference and diet. From any of your favorite rice or pasta dish, safely substitute rice/pasta with millets. I made this dish with Proso millets. Proso millets in other languages is called Varigelu in telugu, Baragu in kannada, pain varagu in tamil, Cheena in bangali, Vari in marathi, cheno in gujarati, bachari bagmu in oriya… Though in Asia countries as India, China, Nepal etc millet is a common staple, for western countries, it is a bird food.

What if you have a magic spice and just by adding to dish it intensifies flavor, aroma and taste 10 times better? Yes this is it. Soy sauce. wasabi, green, red sauces are great condiments which boosts flavor and taste. But finding naturally brewed, no chemical soy sauce is hard. Chemical soy sauce is commonly available and is cheaper. It is made with quick process, usually within days. It is made of soy protein, corn syrup and caramel. It doesn’t have natural flavor as naturally fermented sauce. Chemical soy sauce is super salty. Authentic wasabi? Whats called wasabi in stores and restaurants is green color, corn starch added horse-radish. It has no wasabi in it.
Another flavor boosting condiments – green and red sauces are full of chemicals, colors. More over, we are adding chemical filled sauces to packaged noodles. Packaged noodles already carries enough preservatives. For those who wants to make all-natural chemical-free meal, options are low. I, as an All-natural blogger, I can help you here.
