Barnyard millet is a wild seed, mainly grown in the hilly areas of northern India around Uttaranchal. It is tiny, white, round grain, bigger in size than semolina (rawa) and smaller than sago (sabudana). As Barnyard millet tastes almost similar to broken rice when cooked, it is called the “sanwa rice”, however, it doesn't cook as separate grains like regular rice.
Barnyard millet is an ideal rice replacer for several Indian dishes like Upma, Kheer, Khichadi, Pongal, as well as sweet or savoury Porriges. It is also known as Shyama in Bengali, Moraiyo in Gujarati, Sanwa in Hindi, Oodalu in Kannada and Udalu in Telugu.

You can also use Barnyard millet instead of white rice or brown rice as they are nutritionally similar but have different textures and taste. You can cook it just like regular rice using water or milk.
