Power tips and variations
Go for organically claimed chicken.
Vegetarians can use A2 paneer and mushrooms instead of eggs/chicken.
You can alternate little millet with sorghum grains as per suitability.
Top it with avocado slices and coconut cream for a punch of flavor.
Notes
Millets are a rich source of micronutrients like copper, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, Vitamin B1 (thiamine), and Vitamin B3 (niacin), which boosts our immunity to keep infections at bay.
Using organic chicken makes the dish nourishing. It is packed with a range of macro- and micronutrients, including protein, fiber, B vitamins, Vitamin C, and amino acids.
