    Thinai Kozhukattai

    Foxtail millet / Thinai is my Favorite millet. I love Varagu too. Because these millets can be made into anything and they taste just great. I never miss my rice when i eat them, because these both taste like rice. Specially this Kozhukattai tasted like my mom's chambara kozhukattai. I have already posted akuthiraivali tomato upma. This is my another addition to my millet list.

    This Kozhukattai taste great as it is. But you can serve it with any chutneys. Will share another version of this by adding lots of veggies in them.
