Steps

1To begin making the Foxtail Millet Upma, heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat; add mustard seeds and split urad dal and allow it to crackle. Allow the urad dal to turn golden brown and crisp.
2Once the dal is golden brown, add the green chilli and red chilli and saute for a few seconds.
3Add the onion, ginger and saute until the onions soften. Once the onion softens, add the curry leaves, turmeric powder, beans, carrots, foxtail millet, salt and 2-1/2 cups of water.
4Cover the pressure cooker and pressure cook the millet upma for 5 to 6 whistles and simmer for 5 minutes and turn off the heat. Allow the pressure to release naturally
5Once the pressure releases, give it a gentle stir. Squeeze in the juice from one lemon and stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
