Turmeric Millet Porridge

According to Ayurveda, Foxtail millet increases vata dosha, but balances the doshas related to pitta, kapha and blood tissues. Millet is drier than other grains, so it can help bind diarrhoea. It is also warmer than other grains, stimulating good digestion and agni. However, due to its astringency, it may feel like sandpaper if your digestive tract is sensitive or irritated.

If you want to enjoy the health benefits of millet, you can use it in a variety of ways. Add it to soups and stews, combine it with vegetables and nuts, use it as a side dish, or make it into porridge. You can also use it to replace processed grains in recipes like cookies, muffins and bread.

Adding the other ingredients, such as almond milk, pink salt, coconut oil and raisins, can help you to reap more of the millet’s benefits. Almond milk, for instance, has a high protein and calcium content, as well as vitamin E and other essential minerals. Pink salt is also high in minerals and helps to regulate your body’s electrolytes. Coconut oil is a healthy fat that can help your body absorb the nutrients from the millet and other ingredients more effectively. Finally, the raisins and pumpkin seeds are packed with dietary fibre and other essential vitamins and minerals, helping to keep you fuller for longer.

So if you’re looking for a delicious and nutritious way to nourish your body and mind, adding turmeric millet, almond milk, pink salt, coconut oil, raisins and pumpkin seeds to your diet might be just the ticket.
