    Millets Porridge

    I will never end my cooking with millets session in my blog. Because i am totally loving the taste and texture of them. I have started using them in my day to day life. Even today i made a tagi idyappam and it turned out to be a super hit. Will share the recipe in the coming weeks.

    In this simple porridge i used 5 millets thinai, kambu, barley, kollu and cholam. Normallly i make ulundu kanji, wheat ulundu kanji or paal kanji..But this porridge has joined my everyday cooking list. I am making it quite often because i know i feel healthy at the end of it..Try this out and let me know how it turned out for you..

      @Krisshaa ChinniI am not sure..If you started feeding your baby millets you can do it..Consult with your perdiatrician. BTW you can store the coarsely powdered millet in fridge..
