Korra Annam

Foxtail millet rice — korra (Setaria italica) cooked as a substitute for white rice by boiling the millet in water until the grains are fully cooked and each kernel separate, then served with dal, chutney, and curry exactly as rice would be. Foxtail millet is a traditional Rayalaseema staple grain grown in Anantapur and Kurnool districts; korra annam was the everyday grain food of the region before polished white rice became widely available. Nutritionally superior to white rice with lower glycaemic impact; a growing revival movement in Rayalaseema is returning korra annam to daily meals as health awareness increases.
