Foxtail millet kheer - Thinai Payasam - Healthy Kheer recipe - Millet recipes - Festival recipes - Pooja recipes - Naivedyam Recipes

I love Kheer. esp for breakfast it is quick and easily can make it as healthy as you want. For this one I had added Jaggery instead of sugar and didn't use any Ghee. Richness for this kheer comes from Almond and Cashew paste. If you want it more rich then fry Foxtail millet in a teaspoon of ghee.
