Ingredients
Flours
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 Tbsp Jowar Flour
- 1 Tbsp Bajra Flour
- 1 Tbsp Ragi Flour
- 1 Tbsp Sattu Flour
- 1 Tbsp Corn Flour
Vegetables and Seasonings
- 1 cup Vegetables chopped
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 Tbsp Fruit Vinegar
Sauce and Garnishes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, jowar flour, bajra flour, ragi flour, sattu flour, and corn flour.
- Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a smooth and firm dough forms. Kneading develops the gluten in the wheat flour, which gives the pasta its structure.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough thinly using a rolling pin.
- Cut the rolled-out dough into thin ribbons, resembling pasta.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the millet pasta ribbons and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. The pasta should be tender but still have a slight bite.
- Drain the cooked pasta and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
- Season the vegetables with salt and chili powder.
- Add the cooked millet pasta to the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Toss to combine.
- Drizzle the fruit vinegar over the pasta and vegetables. The vinegar adds a bright, tangy flavor that balances the richness of the dish.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the tomato sauce and chili sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and smoked chili flakes for added flavor and visual appeal.
