Ingredients

1 cup millet Raw millet
2 cups water
1 teaspoon oil
½ teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

Rinse: Rinse the millet a couple of times and drain the water completely.
Boil: Add water to the cooking pot and let it come to a boil. To this boiled water, add millet and salt. I add teaspoon of oil (Olive oil or avocado oil), which will yield fluffy millet.
1 cup millet, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon oil, ½ teaspoon salt
Simmer: Cover the pot with the lid and cook over medium heat for 15 to 16 minutes. By now, all the water will be absorbed by the millet. If not, simmer it until the millet absorbs all liquid.
Fluff it up: Switch off the gas, remove the pot from the heat, and let it rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, fluff the millet using a fork or a spoon.
Serve: Light and fluffy millet is ready to serve as a side dish.
