Preparation
Rinse the hulled millet under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the millet is tender.

While the millet is cooking, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, and rock salt to the pan. Stir well for about 1 minute.
Once the millet is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add the tempered spice mix, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and grated ginger. Mix well.
