THINAI THEAN URUNDAI/FOXTAIL MILLET LADDOO RECIPE

Recipe Category: S.Indian | Sweet

Preparation Time: 10 minutes Serves: 10 

Ingredients:

Thinai / Foxtail Millet - 100 grams
Jaggery Powder - 1/4 cup
Honey - 5-6 tbsp
Cardamom Powder - 1/2 tsp
Cashew nuts - 10, broken to small bits
Ghee - 2 tbsp

Method of Preparation:

For Thinai Flour: Place a pan on medium flame. Roast the grains along with the ghee for 6-8 minutes. Initially the ghee would make the grains stick together but once it starts getting roasted, the grains will separate and aroma starts arising. Transfer the grains to a plate and let it cool. Grind to a fine powder. 

For Ladoo's: Heat ghee in a pan, roast the broken cashew-nuts til golden brown. In a bowl, take the thinai/ foxtail millet flour, add the roasted cashew nuts, jaggery powder, cardamom powder and mix well. Add honey and mix well. Now make them into small laddoos. Store in air tight conatainers and keep in a cool place. 

Notes:

• We can also serve this as sweet powder mix without making into laddoos. 
• If using, thinai/foxtail millet flour, then roast the flour in ghee for 2-3 minutes.
