Step 1: Cut Potatoes into pieces.

Step 2: Rinse little millet and soak it in water for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Add 2 tablespoon oil in a vessel on low heat. Add cumin seeds to it. When the seeds pop add green chilly pieces and curry leaves to it.

Step 4: Add Potato pieces to it. Stir them in the vessel for 2-3 minutes. After that add water to it.
