Instructions

  1. Preparation: Begin by heating a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add a splash of oil, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.

  2. Spices: Introduce the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods, allowing them to crackle and release their aromatic oils for about 30 seconds.

  3. Sautéing Aromatics: Add the chopped garlic and sliced onion to the cooker. Sauté until the onions soften and turn a delightful golden brown, enhancing their natural sweetness.

  4. Herbs and Seasoning: Stir in the dried oregano, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. Adding Fruits: Incorporate the sliced prunes and raisins into the mixture, sautéing for an additional minute. This will caramelize the fruits slightly, deepening their flavor.

  6. Cooking the Millet: Rinse the foxtail millet under cold water to remove any impurities. Add it to the pressure cooker, followed by either 2 cups of water or chicken stock for added depth of flavor.

  7. Pressure Cooking: Seal the pressure cooker and cook for about 4 whistles. This ensures the millet cooks perfectly, absorbing all the flavors.

  8. Serving: Once done, carefully release the pressure. Fluff the pilaf with a fork and serve hot, accompanied by a refreshing raita and a crisp salad for a wholesome meal.

This Foxtail Millet Pilaf is not only a delightful dish bursting with flavors but also a diabetic-friendly option that can be enjoyed during lunch or dinner. Enjoy the ultimate blend of textures and tastes!
