Thinai (Foxtail Millet) is a nutrition rich millet and I have explained about its benefits in my other thinai posts. This is one another dish with the healthy thinai. This adai is simple to make and the procedure is much similar to the conventional adai and the only difference is instead of rice we are going to use thinai. Thinai along with dal and spices gives a yummy taste to the adai. I have enhanced its healthiness by adding some vegetables also. Lets see how to make this delicious and healthy Thinai Vegetable Adai (Foxtail Millet Adai).
