#WS - Tanka Torani is a rice based refreshing drink from the Indian state of Odisha. However, I gave a twist to the original recipe by substituting rice with Foxtail Millet. Hence it is diabetic friendly and can be relished guilt free.

The recipe of Foxtail Millet Tanka Torani is very simple. The consistency of this pro biotic drink is watery. However, adjust it according to your preference. It is ideal to prepare this drink in large quantities and refrigerate it to be consumed as and when desired to beat the summer heat. It tastes just awesome and so refreshing.
