Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q1: How do I cook Samayal Little Millet?
- A: Rinse the millet thoroughly under water. For a fluffy rice-like texture, use a ratio of 1 cup of little millet to 2 to 2.5 cups of water. Boil, then simmer on low heat for about 10–12 minutes until the water is absorbed, and let it rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

- Q3: Can I use this millet as a direct substitute for rice?
- A: Absolutely. You can use little millet in place of rice for everyday meals, or use it to prepare traditional South Indian dishes like Samai Pongal, Samai Upma, or wholesome vegetable khichdi.
