Ingredients:
For the Kodo Millet Wrap:
- 1 cup Kodo Millet
- 2 cups Water
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds (optional)
For the Egg Filling:
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Oil or Butter
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 small Bell Pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small Tomato, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Spinach Leaves, chopped
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- Fresh Coriander Leaves, chopped (for garnish)
For Assembling:
- 1-2 tbsp Oil for cooking
- Sliced Vegetables for filling (such as cucumbers, carrots, or lettuce)
- Chutneys or Sauces (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Kodo Millet Wrap:
- Rinse the kodo millet under running water. In a saucepan, combine the millet, water, salt, turmeric powder, and cumin seeds if using.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the millet is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
- Once the millet is cool enough to handle, form it into flat rounds or rectangles, about 1/4 inch thick. You can use a rolling pin to flatten the millet mixture between two sheets of parchment paper if needed.
- Prepare the Egg Filling:
- Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add the bell pepper, tomato, and spinach leaves. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the spinach is wilted.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Heat a little oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one of the kodo millet wraps in the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and warm. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
- Spread a portion of the egg filling over each millet wrap.
- Add sliced vegetables if desired and drizzle with chutneys or sauces of your choice.
- Roll and Serve:
- Carefully roll up each kodo millet wrap with the filling inside. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Serve the Kodo Millet Egg Rolls warm, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
Tips and Variations:
- Wrap Variations: You can experiment with different fillings, such as cooked chicken, paneer, or vegetables, to suit your taste preferences.
- Chutneys and Sauces: Try serving with a variety of chutneys or sauces like mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or yogurt sauce for added flavor.
- Vegetable Add-ins: Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or broccoli to the egg filling for extra nutrition.
Kodo Millet Egg Rolls are a nutritious and tasty alternative to traditional egg rolls, combining the health benefits of kodo millet with the rich flavors of scrambled eggs. They’re perfect for a quick and satisfying meal or snack that’s both wholesome and delicious.
