Millet-based Menu

Millets are one of the oldest cultivated grains in the world, dating back thousands of years. They are tiny powerhouses of nutrition; naturally gluten-free, rich in fibre, minerals, and plant protein. Unlike polished rice or refined wheat, millets digest slowly, keeping you fuller for longer while maintaining steady energy levels.

Beyond personal health, millets are also good for the planet. They grow in dry conditions with minimal water, require no chemical inputs, and are climate-resilient crops. By choosing millets, you aren’t just nourishing yourself, you are also supporting local farmers and contributing to sustainable food systems.

At The Rustle Nest, our menu celebrates these humble grains by bringing them into familiar favourites like pastas, risottos, and khichdis showing that healthy food can be indulgent, comforting, and delicious.

Tiny, fast-cooking, and high in fibre and iron. Barnyard millet is a popular fasting grain but also a brilliant everyday staple. Combined with lentils, it transforms into hearty khichdi bowls; comforting, protein-rich, and deeply nourishing.
