Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Millet Recipes
Preparation Time:20 mins | Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

Foxtail Millet | Thinai- 1/2 cup

---

Water-2 cups

---

Curd- 1/2 cup - 1 cup

---

Salt

---

Chopped onion-1

---

Any Side dish

---

Method:

1. Pressure cook foxtail millet along with water for 2- 3 whistles.The water should be 1:3 ratio.it mean for 1 cup millet 3 cups of water.
2. Allow it to cool .Once cooled down add salt ,some water and mix well in hands ,so that it will get smashed well.
3. Now add in the curd and mix well,adjust salt as well.
4. Now add in the finely chopped onions and mix well.
5. Serve this with moor milagai,cut mango pickle,fry-ms,rice vadagam ,etc...

Notes:

• You can prepare the foxtail millet and keep the cooked millet along with some water in fridge for up-to 1 week(same as you do for kambu kali).If you are not using water while refrigerating then it will become hard and tough to smash it again.
• You can also temper this as you do for curd rice.
