Introduction

Millets are lesser known grains, often classified as poor man's grain. The world has started realising the health benefits recently. They are going to be the future of the world as they require less water, care and can also be grown in dry places. Millets are highly nutritious and their low GI makes them diabetic friendly. With OPOS techniques in hand, I have tried to cover dishes from starters to main course, snacks and desserts. All the recipes are tried, tested and validated across all age groups.

Dedicated

To My Family

To The Farmers

To The Diabetic World

Thanks to

God who gave me this opportunity.

The members of OPOS groups who helped me in validating the recipes.

Mr.Ramakrishnan who had faith in me and encouraged my little talent.

Foreword

When I had to change my diet on health grounds, I was crestfallen ... thought I would have to live on bland tasteless foods. However, my spouse Vijaya, after an extensive research, experimentation (ofcourse I was the lucky guinea pig!) and unrelenting perseverance, has come up with healthy tasty recipes. She has the uncanny ability to think out of the box and come up with unimaginable combinations( after all recipes are combinations of proportions, timings and techniques). She hit a fantastic combination of Millets and OPOS, resulting in easier cooking methods and tasty healthy dishes on an everyday basis.

OPOS Primer

1. The OPOS Magic:
15 years, 780 blog posts, 26097 volunteers, 52 children, tonnes of provisions, 1208 files, 10411 Facebook posts, 5601 photos, 320 videos, millions of arguments, 1 dictator, 15 comedians, 1 world record, 4 restaurants, 16 chefs, 14 events and 22 corporate demos have gone into creating the OPOS magic. You now hold the key to this magical world!

2. What is OPOS?
OPOS (One Pot, One Shot) is a set of scientific cooking techniques designed to unchain you from the kitchen, cut drudgery and empower anyone to cook confidently. All OPOS recipes use One Pot and all cooking is done at One Shot. No steps. No supervision. From Pastas to Paneer Makhni, Malai Kofta to Mysorepak, OPOS recipes are easier and faster than cooking instant noodles!

3. The OPOS Promise:
OPOS is the cleanest, greenest, healthiest, tastiest and fastest way to cook just about anything.
OPOS works for anyone, anywhere, anytime.

4. Why OPOS?
OPOS is Green. One pot to wash.
OPOS is Clean. Hygienic. Less mess.
OPOS is Fast. Fresh food in minutes.
OPOS is Liberating. No supervision.
OPOS is Healthy. Maximises nutrition.
OPOS is Flexible. Cook your way.
OPOS is Economical. Saves fuel and water.
OPOS is Tasty. Intense flavours.
OPOS is Transparent. Works for all.
OPOS is Consistent. Works every time.
OPOS is Universal. Cooks all cuisines!

5. Tried and Tested:
Every single OPOS recipe is debated, tested, fine-tuned and validated hundreds of times by members of United By Food and OPOS School Facebook groups. The work of this passionate group of doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, bloggers, authors, chefs, food stylists, artists, homemakers, actors, scientists, caterers and many others continues to shape OPOS.

6. I was always OPOSing!
OPOS is not a fancy word for pressure cooking. Very few OPOS recipes follow the "Dump all into a cooker" technique. Most OPOS recipes are built on pressure baking, a brand new cooking technique. Pressure baking, in addition to the techniques listed below is responsible for the intense taste, textures, colours and flavours of OPOSed dishes.

7. OPOS Techniques:
Attalysis, Bottled tadka, Controlled evaporation, Dum cooking, Emulsification, Flash Cooking, Grits, Hydro distillation, Inner pot cooking, Just enough liquid, Key building blocks, Layering, MPOS, No Prep, Oil free, Pyrolysis, Queuing, Retained heat, Sugar Syrup hack, TurboFlavours, Use of cooked bases, Very Long Marination, Waterless cooking, Xtra long storage, Yolk colour retention and Zoned flashing.

8. OPOS vs. Tradition:
Traditional recipes were not designed for todays lifestyle. Many of us lack the time, skill and support to make traditional recipes work. OPOS replaces manual skill with the right equipment and technique. OPOS standardises cooking conditions to make all recipes work the same way for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Use right equipment and follow recipes to experience magic!

9. Equipment needed:
OPOS works best with the OPOS kit available at www.oposkit.com . The pressure baker has been specially designed for OPOS. It is built to cook without water and over high heat. It comes with a silicone gasket to withstand dry heating, a lead free safety valve and precisely calibrated weight set to ensure healthy whistles. It has a set of stainless steel measuring cups, inner vessel with lid, flash separators and flash cards with step by step lessons. Normal pressure cookers are not designed to cook without water or over high heat. The safety valves blow, gasket melts and food burns. The manufacturers insist you never cook without water and never to cook over high heat. However, you can use 2L normal Indian whistling pressure cookers, if you are very careful and know what you are doing.
