Grind into a fine powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Marinate the Chicken<br>In a bowl, mix ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, lemon juice, salt, and the ground spice mix. Coat the chicken thoroughly and marinate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Soak the <a href=\"https:\/\/hillsnatural.in\/store\/product\/little-millet-chama\/\">Little Millet<\/a><br>Rinse the millet and soak it for 1-6 hours. For every cup of millet, add 2 cups of water to cook it evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: Steam Cooking<br>In a large pan, add marinated chicken with enough water to cover. Cook on high heat for 5 minutes, then simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the soaked millet, add it to the pan, stir, and cover. Cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes, letting the millet absorb all the flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: Tawa Frying with Ghee<br>Heat ghee in a cast-iron pan (tawa). Transfer the cooked millet and chicken mixture onto the pan. Fry gently until the outside turns golden-brown and crispy, keeping the inside tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 6: Charcoal Smoking<br>For smoky flavor, heat a piece of charcoal until red. Place it in a small bowl inside the pan. Drizzle ghee over it, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 7: Serve<br>Fluff the millet with a fork to mix the chicken and spices. Serve hot with raita or a fresh salad. The crispy millet and tender chicken will be a hit at the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why <a href=\"https:\/\/yummy-valley.com\/blog\/little-millet-benefits\/?srsltid=AfmBOooJGtWkmXIPzgy9qH4CJ_Uy8YspTvouzbnB9c5qi9AvuZrsmYtk\">Little Millet<\/a>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hillsnatural.in\/store\/product\/little-millet-chama\/\">Little Millet<\/a> Chicken Mandi Recipe: A Nutritious Twist on a Classic, offers a healthy twist on the classic chicken mandi.
