India Serves Millet-Based Menu to G20 Leaders, Promoting Climate-Friendly Crop

India served G20 leaders a vegetarian dinner featuring dishes made with millet, a gluten-free grain that PM Modi's government has been promoting.
Millet was showcased in starters, main course and dessert at the gala dinner after the G20 summit proceedings.
Millet is climate resilient, grows quickly with little water and can address issues like food security.
India is the world's largest millet producer and exporter, with efforts underway to boost production since 2014.
The dinner menu reinforced the use of the name 'Bharat' for India and highlighted the country's diversity.
