💡 How to Prepare / Use
Prep: Soak the Kodo Millet vermicelli in room-temperature water for 2 to 3 minutes. Ensure all strands are submerged to allow the dense fiber to hydrate evenly.
Cook/Method: Drain the water completely using a strainer. Arrange the softened vermicelli in a steamer or idli cooker. Steam for 5 to 7 minutes until the strands are tender.
Serve/Enjoy: Heat a pan with cold-pressed gingelly (sesame) oil. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, dried red chilies, and plenty of sautéed onions and carrots. Toss the steamed vermicelli gently into the tempering. This variety is particularly delicious when served as a spicy Kara Sevai or a tangy Tomato Upma.
