Equipment
- 1 instant pot
- 1 Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet (whole grain)
- 2 cups water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons butter (optional)
Instructions
- In a mesh strainer, add measured millet and rinse it under running cold water. Drain the access water.
- In your Instant Pot, add millet, salt and water. Close the lid and place the pressure valve in the "sealing" position.
- Set the cooking time for 10 minutes on high pressure. Once the cooking time is over, let it naturally release for 10 minutes followed by a quick release for the remaining steam.
- Carefully open the lid, and fluff it with the fork. You can add butter or ghee if serving as a side dish.
Notes
- rinse millet under cold water before cooking.
- in place of water, use milk for sweet porridge or broth for savory dishes.
- one cup of uncooked millet makes about 3 ½ cups of cooked.
