EAT MILLETS AS PER THE SEASON

Our traditional eating practices put a lot of focus on eating food as per the season. Here is a quick guide about which millets work best for which season:

Bajra is  for the winter: eat them with jaggery and ghee

Jowar is better for summer: eat it with chutney

Ragi is eaten year-round, but especially during rains, and can even be turned into a dosa, laddoo, porridge, etc.

The lesser-known millets are usually linked to change of season, mostly tied to festivals. A few examples of such millets are raajgira, samo.
