Instructions
Cook the foxtail millet with 1 cup water and ½ cup milk (3 times the quantity of millet)
Powder the sugar candy if you are using the big candy.

Alternately, you can add the sugar candy to the cooked millet and cook both together.

Notes
I have used foxtail millet here. However you can make it with rice or any other millet.
By default I don't use ghee. You can roast the nuts in ghee and add.
I didn't have edible camphor today. If you have, adding a pinch adds to the flavour
