Little millet (Panicum sumatrense) is a small-grained annual cereal grass of South Asia, grown for its very tiny, round kernels — among the smallest of the cultivated millets. Known as kutki, samai or saame, it is a minor "small millet" long grown by tribal and hill farmers as a hardy, fast, low-water grain. Mild, faintly sweet and gently nutty and gluten-free, it is cooked much like rice into steamed grain, porridge, upma and dosa, and is a close culinary cousin of proso millet.
