Foxtail Millet is an annual grass grown for human consumption and is the second most widely planted one.
Foxtail Millet is rich in Vitamin B12 which is essential for maintaining a healthy Heart and the smooth functioning of the Nervous system. It is also good for Skin and Hair. A diet consisting of this versatile Millet will improve the glycemic control and thereby results in lower Insulin levels in the body.

Being a powerhouse in nutrition, it helps keep up the stamina. It keeps one stronger and builds immunity in order to fight the disease causing organisms and various infections lurking around. I have added Apple to this recipe for natural sweetness and flavour. Both of these go really well with each other and the result is this beautiful looking Halwa or Porridge with lots of nutritional goodness. Millets are good sources of Fibre as well.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Wash and rinse the millet first and then soak in clean drinking water for a good 4-5 hours or better still overnight.
2

Heat ghee in a kadai. Fry almonds and raisins or any of your favourite dry fruits and nuts. Now add the cubed apples. Saute on a low until they cook well and are soft. Now add the soaked and drained barnyard millet. Also add milk as needed. Cover and let it cook.
3

Add sugar or jaggery powder as desired after it's fully cooked and done. I have added palm jaggery to it. Mix well. Roast on a low to medium high heat until it gathers in the centre and leaves the sides of the kadai. Add a teaspoon of more ghee. Take it off the heat.
4

Garnish with more of chopped nuts or dry fruits. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
