Thinai is a millet which is widely available. It is called Foxtail Millet. It is a very delicious and tasty millet and I tried Thinai Payasam for Naivedyam during this Navaratri. Take 1/4 cup of Thinai and soak for 1/2 hr. Cook in pressure cooker with one cup water. Thinai gives volume and so that much water is needed. Cookfor three to four whistles. Take out the cooked thinai from cooker and add to 3/4 lite of boiling milk. Simmer for 15 to twenty minutes. Add 1 cup sugar and 1/4 litre milk and wait till it starts boiling. Take off fire and add cardamom powder. Thinai Payasam is ready
