Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Today we are going to see a healthy recipe...This recipe can be done for breakfast,dinner or for any occasion if you feel something you want as a healthy option.
Millets are one word which i am hearing very often in recent months. Then i googled the same and came to know about it's health benefits. Actually when i was reading about this, i came to know that it has been a staple food for south indians many years ago.Ofcourse old is gold.So our past generations were healthy by eating food like these.
There are varieties in millets and today we are going to see Foxtail Millet/Thennai.
Foxtail millet is one of the best millets available with us.I will give you some links to know more about this millet.
