Notes:

You can try the same recipe with other millets and rice too.
Adding vegetables is purely optional, I added just to intake of vegetables and rice at the same time for a wholesome meal. Tastes equally good without vegetables too.
Potato fry,raw banana and anchovy fry gives a good company for this bisibellabath.
