Dhatu Organic Little Millet 500g — Iron-Rich, Alkaline Ancient Grain for Digestive Health
Little Millet (Panicum sumatrense) is one of India's most nutritionally extraordinary ancient grains — a tiny grain with an iron content that rivals meat, an alkaline-forming character that benefits digestive health, and a light, easily digestible texture that makes it ideal for daily eating. Known as Samai in Tamil, Kutki in Hindi, Same in Kannada and Sama in Telugu, Little Millet has been cultivated for over 4,000 years across the Indian subcontinent and is a cornerstone of traditional fasting diets across multiple religious traditions.
Dhatu's Organic Little Millet is certified organic, unprocessed, and sourced from traditional farming communities who have preserved this ancient variety through generations. The 500g pack is ideal for those exploring Little Millet for the first time or incorporating it as part of a varied grain rotation.

Ideal for Fasting & Cleansing
Little Millet (Sama rice) is the primary grain consumed during Navratri and other Hindu fasting periods — its light digestibility, alkaline nature and complete nutrition make it perfect for days when the digestive system needs rest while the body still requires sustenance. Eaten as sama khichdi, sama kheer or sama upma, it provides genuine nourishment without taxing the system.
How to Cook
As rice substitute: Rinse 2–3 times. Use 1:2 millet:water ratio. Cook 15–18 minutes on low heat, covered. The tiny grains produce a light, fluffy result. Excellent with sambar, dal, curries and vegetables.
Sama khichdi: Little Millet with moong dal, cumin, ghee and turmeric — deeply nourishing, easy to digest and complete in protein.
Sama kheer: Simmer Little Millet in milk with jaggery, cardamom and saffron for a traditionally auspicious dessert.
Morning porridge: 1 cup millet + 2.5 cups water or milk, simmer 15 minutes with salt or jaggery and ghee.
