Thank you.
I woluld like to share with you that a relative of mine suffering from cancer of kidney, got operated ( to put in simple words a part of the kidney was removed) later he switched on to colmplete millet diet not only did he get rid of the cancer but was fit enough to to travel from India to Rio to watch the Olympics live.
I will defnitely put up some recipies.

 

Yes, it's true that the millets have to be soaked before cooking, say for thirty minutes or so but for dosa and idli it's the same as how we soak white rice.

 

I have been using millets for almost an year now on daily basis, so practical experience says soaking for 30 minutes is sufficient before cooking it in the pressure cooker.

 

Millet contains goitrogens which suppress thyroid activity. Daily consumption can cause hypothyroidism.

Eat everything in moderation.

I replaced white rice with millet for over 2 months after getting the prediabetes talk from my doctor. However I am also hypothyroid and take daily medication for that. I have seen several reports that state that millet is an effective goitrogen so I have stopped using it till I can figure out fact from fiction. My doctor suggested measured portions of brown rice instead.
As for cooking millet, I used to get the Bob's Red Mill hulled millet and just cooked it in the rice cooker/Instant Pot using a 1:2 millet to water ratio. I rinsed the millet a few times but did not soak.
