3. Sauté the Vegetables
Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic first and sauté until aromatic.
Toss in the onions, chillies, bell pepper, and capsicum. Stir-fry for 3â4 minutes until the veggies are cooked but still crisp.
4. Add Flavor & Millet
Drizzle in your chili sauce and give everything a good mix.
Now, add the cooked bajra (pashtra) and stir thoroughly so the flavors coat every grain.
