Method note for little millet upma, and I roasted the grain lightly before simmering it with the tempering. I used one full cup; the finished dish was fluffy and mild. The leftovers were just as good the next day.

My notes from Jun 2026: I did not expect this grain to work in curd millet. I used a measured cup. I mashed part of the warm grain, then waited before adding yogurt. The dish came out fluffy and mild. The bag was finished sooner than I expected.

In my busy parent routine, lemon samai mattered more than the package. I kept a quick log of the successful lemon samai batch. The final texture was easy to pair with vegetables. This is the lemon samai method I plan to keep using.

I served little millet upma to guests during a neighbourhood potluck, with takeout ruled out. My roommate went back for a second spoonful. The repeat result in Wisconsin was consistent.

Second-bag update: lemon samai is still my main recipe. This batch was fluffy and mild. I can use it in lemon samai, but it has not become a favourite.
