Foxtail Millet Lemon Bhaath / Thinai lemon rice

Lemon rice is a simple and easy one-pot dish that's loved by all. It is perfect for office lunch boxes and picnics. In this recipe, I have replaced rice with foxtail millet (thinai). Foxtail millet is pale yellowish in color and rich in proteins, betacarotene and other minerals. Since the fibre content is high, it has a low glycemic index and keeps you full for a good 3-4 hours.
