Foxtail Millet/Thinai Dal Bath

Sorry guys,i know am posting since few days many dishes prepared with foxtail millet, its such a miracle grain i couldnt keep myself away from it. Here is one of our recent favourite, i prepared this comforting food yesterday for our lunch and this tastes marvellous when served simply with a spicy potato fry and fried chicken wings.

Personally i loved this fantastic healthy dal bath with papads,definitely a healthy and fantastic twist to usual rice-dal bath. This super healthy dal bath takes hardly less than half an hour to get ready as i cooked them through pressure cooking. A quick,delicious, comforting and a super satisfying meal to enjoy without any guilt.Sending this healthy dish to CWS- Rye or Millet guest hosted by Simona..
