Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup varagu arisi skinned kodomillet
  • 1.5 cups drinking water
  • 3/4 cup fresh yogurt
  • 1/4 cup low fat/ full cream milk
  • salt to taste
  • Asafoetida one pinch

Instructions
 

  • Set the millets in the pressure cooker with three time the water. Cover and let it cook for two whistles.        
  • Once the pressure is released fluff the millets and add to a large mixing bowl and set it to cool to room temperature. this will prevent the splitting of yogurt when added.
  • Add in the yogurt and mix well.
  • If it gets thick, add little more milk. Add salt,a pinch of asafoetida and mix well.  

Notes

If packing for a lunch box add in a bit of extra milk. So that it is a bit more runnier than the eating version,  by lunchtime it would have become perfect.
You could cook the millets in an open pot or a rice cooker too, just the way you cook rice. I like to use the pressure cooker for a faster result.
You could additionally add a tempering of mustard, ginger slices, chillies and curry leaves to this or add grated carrots, pomegranate pearls or sliced grapes.
