Thinai Payasam Recipe/Foxtail Millet Kheer With Jaggery-Millet Recipes

Thinai Payasam Recipe


Thinai arisi/Foxtail millet payasam in one of the easiest yet delicious recipe using millets.It tastes very similar to rice payasam/Arisi payasam.But one thing i should tell you is the yield.Just 1/4 cup of thinai/foxtail millet is enough to make payasam for 3 persons.Without knowing this,i made payasam with 1/2 cup of thinai and i got sooooo much i.e. nearly half of my big sized cooker.Now i am blinking how to empty itDoh.So i just halved my quantity and shared the recipe here.This would be sufficient for 2-3 people.Ok,lets see how to prepare thinai arisi payasam recipe.

Enjoy !


Note

  • Generally 3 cups of water is enough to cook 1 cup of thinai.i.e ratio is 1:3.Here i used 1:6 ratio of thinai & water as i wanted the payasam to be thin.
  • This payasam will tend to thicken as time proceeds.So keep some milk reserved.
  • As i mentioned in my write-up,the yield of the payasam will be more.So adjust accordingly.



Make this thinai arisi payasam,offer God & enjoy.It tastes awesome !
