Last week I tried thinai idli recipe for the first time using fermentation method. Earlier I tried an Instant Foxtail millet idli which was a super flop. But this recipe worked out very well. Idli came out soft and spongy. I made idli as well as dosa with this batter. Its taste & texture was more like our usual idli, dosa<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Only its color was not pure white.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
We were very happy to have a healthy breakfast recipe & I was even more happy as i have got yet another interesting idli recipe to include in my idli varieties<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. In other languages, Thinai is called as \u201dFoxtail millet\u201d in English,\u201dNavane\u201d in Kannada,\u201dKakum\u201din Hindi,\u201dKorra\u201d in Telugu,\u201dThina\u201d in Malayalam,\u201dKaon\u201d in Bengali,\u201dKang\u201d in Marathi & Gujarati and \u201dKanghu\u201d in Oriya.<\/div>\n
\nLast year few readers told me to post some quinoa recipes & I was thinking that quinoa in called as Thinai in Tamil.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But when I googled, I found quinoa & thinai (foxtail millet) are different. I will try to buy quinoa in Bangalore and try to post some healthy recipes with it. But before that, I wanted to share this easy and healthy millets recipe which is a great replacement for our rice idli. <\/div>\n
