Health benefits of foxtail millet and potatoes

Foxtail millet is rich in dietary fibre, protein, healthy micros (vitamin and minerals) and low in fat. This millet also helps to regulate blood pressure, thus reducing the chances of blockage in the heart that results in cardiac arrest or stroke. It also helps in reduction of LDL levels in the body.

Potatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which make them very healthy. Potatoes carry a variety of impressive health benefits, including improved blood sugar control, reduced heart disease risk and higher immunity. They may also improve digestive health and combat signs of aging. They are also naturally gluten-free.

Method:

Wash potatoes thoroughly and do not peel.

Cut in halves vertically and prick them nicely with a fork.

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, rock salt, dried herbs and some red chili flakes. Coat all potato halves with this mixture nicely. Leave them to be marinated for a good 15-20 minutes.

Once marinated, place these marinated potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 C.

Meanwhile, you can start with foxtail millet stuffing.

Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large pan. Add onions and bell peppers and saute until tender. It will take about 5 minutes.

Now add steamed corn, cooked foxtail millet, boiled kidney beans, spices and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture dries up.

Once done, add lemon juice, cherry tomatoes and coriander leaves. Allow it to cool and settle on its own.

When potatoes are fork tender, remove from the oven. Once they are easy to handle, make a cavity without taking out the pulp. It is done by just pressing the flesh with a spoon.

Now fill this cavity with foxtail millet colourful stuffing.

Grate cheese over each potato boat and put them back in the oven for grilling at 200 degree Celsius for 10 minutes or till the cheese forms a net to hold the stuffing. Make sure the cheese is not over cooked or burnt.

Once done, you can always drizzle any of your favourite dips over the baked and grilled potato boats.

Serve hot. Enjoy!
