I made a dosa batter out of this.

About this Recipe

Thinai, or foxtail millet, is an annual grass grown for human consumption. It is the second-most planted millet species and the most grown millet species in Asia. Foxtail millets are high in iron and calcium, which helps to keep bones and muscles healthy. It aids the bodys calcium and phosphorus requirements in the fight against
brittle bones, inflammation, osteoporosis, arthritis, and spondylitis. The protein, fat, and fibre content of the formulated foxtail and barnyard millet products were higher than that of the rice products. Thus, the current study concluded that foxtail millet and barnyard millet have higher nutritive value than rice and have the potential to be used in traditional food products.

 It is so easy to make but ridiculously healthy for you. It really calls for simple ingredients. But the end product is so worth it.

Ingredients for Thinai Dosai :

Fox Millet / Thinai :

Fox Millet or Thinai has a natural, bitter-tasting coating called saponin, which must be removed before cooking. Once cooked, millet can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Millet, unlike other grains, becomes solid and dry when cold and must be broken up and reheated before use.
