After 6-7 minutes, take out the steamer basket, close the lid of the cooker and continue cooking millet. Since we are making soup .. its good that millets cook well and become mushy . But the veggies tastes good crunchy .. so we have steamed separately and kept aside to mix later .

After the millet is cooked, the cooker will go to “Warm” mode. After about 3-4 minutes , open the cooker and lightly mash the cooked millets to get a creamy texture .

Add steamed veggies , salt , pepper powder , basil powder ( You may add any flavoring ingredient you prefer ) and little buttermilk for tangyness . Combine everything . Add water if required to get a desired consistency . Bring to a boil

Serve Millets veg soup hot . Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground pepper powder for some extra taste . Isn't healthy food too tasty ??
