In Chad (central) and Sudan (Kordofan, Darfur) the seeds of this plant are ground into [[flour]] from which [[porridge]] or [[bread]] can be prepared. In Rajasthan in India the seeds are used as [[rice]] - hence its English common name of &#039;jungle rice&#039;, from the Hindustani jangal, meaning wild.<br /> <br /> While also being part of staple diet for some communities in India, these seeds are, in particular, (cooked and) eaten during religious fasting (willingly abstaining from some types of food / food ingredients). For this reason, these seeds are commonly also referred to as &quot;vrat ke chawal&quot; in Hindi (i.e. - rice for fasting, literally).<br /> <br /> Ingredient description here<br /> ===Also known as===<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Englih:&#039;&#039;&#039; Jungle-rice, awnless barnyard grass, birds rice, corn panic grass, Deccan grass, jungle rice, jungle ricegrass, little barnyard grass, millet-rice, pigeon millet, shama millet, short millet, swampgrass<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Hindi:&#039;&#039;&#039; Jangli jhangora, Jharwa, Jirio, शामा Shama<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Kannada:&#039;&#039;&#039; kaadu haaraka, kaadu haaraka hullu<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Marathi:&#039;&#039;&#039; borur, jiria, pacushama, sawank, tor, todia<br /> ===Indian barnyard millet===<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Indian barnyard millet&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Echinochloa frumentacea&#039;&#039;), a cultivated crop in India, was domesticated from &#039;&#039;Echinochloa colona&#039;&#039;.<br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Millet]]<br /> * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinochloa_colona (&#039;&#039;source&#039;&#039;)<br /> <br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Nuts grains and seeds]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/junglemillet|#junglemillet]] [[Special:Search/rice|#rice]] [[Special:Search/bread|#bread]] [[Special:Search/millet|#millet]] [[Special:Search/porridge|#porridge]] [[Special:Search/flour|#flour]] [[Special:Search/nutsgrainsandseeds|#nutsgrainsandseeds]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
