What it is

Manna was started in Chennai in 2000 by I.S.A.K. Nazar. Its first product was a health mix based on sathumaavu, the traditional Tamil multigrain porridge mix. Millets are now a big part of what it sells.

Varagu is a small, light brown millet that cooks up firmer than rice, closer to broken wheat, and holds its shape well under sambar or curd. It is a good one for pongal and upma. Choosing a millet? Kodo for a firmer bite; barnyard (kuthiraivali) for the softest and quickest; little millet (samai) for something close to rice.

Tip: Cook it a little drier for upma and a little wetter for curd rice. It forgives both.

Goes well with: Manna Little Millet, Sakthi Sambar Powder, GRB Pure Ghee
