It’s so simple to make these millet cakes too – start by cooking the millet in water. In a separate skillet, sauté the shallot until soft before adding carrot and spinach. Mix all the remaining ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to drop round cakes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven and serve warm!
To make Millet Cakes with Carrots & Spinach, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup of millet with 2 cups of water, and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring the contents of the pan to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat down to low. Place a lid on the saucepan and leave to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the millet is tender and no liquid remains. Transfer the millet to a large bowl after leaving it to sit for 10 minutes.
Cook a minced shallot in a skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil for about 1-2 minutes.
Mix in 2 shredded carrots and 6 cups of chopped baby spinach. Cook in the skillet for about 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of curry powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook while stirring for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the contents of the skillet to the bowl with the millet.
Mix ½ a cup of plain yogurt, a large egg and 2 tablespoons of minced cilantro into the millet mixture until well combined.
Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet so that they form a ½ inch thick cake. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Drizzle the cakes with olive oil. Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until they are cooked through.
Serve the cakes piping hot from the oven.
