Instructions
Wash and drain Millet / rice.
Heat 1 tsp oil and add bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and fennel seeds.

Add enough water and cook as per your convenience to make sure that each grain is separate. I normally steam cook them.
Heat balance 1 tsp oil and sauté till onions become translucent.

Notes
You can use any millet, quinoa or any rice.
Make sure to cook rice / millet so that each grain is separate.
You can add a tsp of jaggery if you wish. Its a personal preference.
We dot use dry spice powders here other than garam masala. So adjust the green chilli as per your family's preference.
