Thinai is one of the millets varieties and it can be prepared in many different ways. I have made payasam using this foxtail millet. For this kheer recipe, I have used jaggery instead of sugar. Adding jaggery makes this recipe even more healthy and tasty. It can be served either hot or cold. Perfect and healthy dessert option.
