Indian-Style Millet with Browned Onions and Green Beans

I've been asked to provide a few recipes for spicy side dishes of a milder nature, so I cooked up this flavorful millet dish for dinner tonight. If you're into heat like I am, increase the amount of cumin and cayenne slightly, and add a dash of turmeric. It goes well with vegetables and bean dishes. Include a small bowl of yogurt with the meal, as yogurt has a cooling effect.
