Little Millet
Kutki • Samai
Little millet, known as Kutki (Hindi) or Samai (Tamil), may be one of the smallest millets, but it’s packed with nutrition. Traditionally grown in semi-arid regions of India, this millet cooks quickly and adapts beautifully to everyday meals — from dosas to upma and even desserts.
