Millets pidi kozhukattai/Jonnala aaviri kudumulu/ millets steamed dumplings

I am on millet cooking spree for a while. Be it using it as a flour for making rotis, Dosais  and even kanji and kuzhu it doesn’t make me getting bored trying the dish. I used the millets in Rava form for making idlis. From the time I started watching a local Telugu channel doing exclusive millets programme it became easy for me to plan and decide my daily menu. Millets are advised to be consumed thrice  a week, and it is good to keep changing the type of millets too. Today after watching the programme in TV I tried this steam cooked millet kozhukattai. It is almost similar to our Upma kozhukattai. But there is no oil used here. Instead greens and soaked chena dal are used as healthy version and for good taste and flavour.
Since I had mixed millet rava I made this. Any single millet rava can also be used.
