Being the highly uninventive “daily meal” type cook myself, when I do get into 
the kitchen, all I do with millets are –

1. Steam them in a pressure cooker with about 2x the water and for 2x the 
number of cooker ‘whistles’ as when cooking ordinary rice
2. Use this for gruel / porridge mixed with milk and sugar or buttermilk and 
salt, or to make venpongal / spiced up curd rice type foods that are anyway 
cooked to the texture of a soft mush.

This is using millets that are typically pale yellow to white colored – foxtail 
for example.

Adding them to dosa batter, roti dough and such tends to be an experiment that 
goes wrong very easily – and you just have to eat them hot, can’t even pack 
them in a kid’s lunchbox or they turn into shoe leather in very short order.  

And dull rust red colored millets like ragi are things the kids turn up their 
noses at, so ..

    I read a fantastic article on the health benefits of eating millet
    yesterday. As a foodie, such articles usually lead me to think "Great! But
    how do I cook this thing"
    
    So I wanted to share with you an article I wrote last year on how to cook
    with millets. And if cooking's not your way, it also talks about all the
    restaurants in Mumbai that put millet dishes on their menus.
