What it is

Manna was started in Chennai in 2000 by I.S.A.K. Nazar, and its first product was a sathumaavu-style health mix. Brown top millet, korale in Kannada, is the least known grain in the range. It grows on dry land around Tumkur and Chitradurga in Karnataka and Ananthapur in Andhra, often under the shade of tamarind trees.

The grain is tiny and pale brown, and it cooks up like rice with a firmer, slightly chewy bite. Choosing between Manna millets? Brown top for a firm grain that holds its shape; little millet (samai) for softer and quicker; foxtail (thinai) for a light, nutty bowl.

Tip: Cook it a little drier than rice for lemon or tomato rice. The grains stay separate and take the tempering well.

Goes well with: Manna Little Millet, Manna Foxtail Millet, MTR Bisibele Bhath Masala
