Little about Horse Gram
Horse gram is one of the lesser known beans. The whole seeds of horse gram are generally utilized as cattle feed. However, it is consumed as a whole seed, as sprouts, or as whole meal in our India, popular especially in Southern Indian States.

We can make many varieties in the magic bean... like chutney/Dip, gravy, vada, podi n more... My mom make horse gram powder. She prepared this after dry roasted the bean. In that we used to add to Idli, Dosa, Chutney n all....

Benefits

• It is known for its excellent diuretic and astringent.
• Great benefit of horse gram is its use in extracting phlegm. When suffering with cough, phlegm is a hard thing to get rid of. Taking horse gram water can eliminate the phlegm and give relief.
• It has phenols which helps in reducing weight.
• Horse gram also helps in lowering cholesterol levels.
• In women, it helps purify menstruation.
• It is a good source of proteins.

THINAI/FOXTAIL MILLET KHEER/PAYASAM

Hi friends, hope you have enjoyed the weekends. Today I bring an interesting dessert for you. We usually will prepare kheer with vermicelli, semolina, sago pearls, moong dal n sometimes with rice... Isn't? This time I prepared the kheer with thinai/Foxtail millet ... Its taste is really very delicious and healthy.

My dad told that in his younger period of time, they usually had kambu (Pearl millet), varagu (Kodo millet), samai (Barnyard millet) n thinai for the breakfast, lunch or dinner... They rarely had been intake of our normal rice. Because that period of time the normal rice was bit expensive than the other grains…  After the period the white rice nicely entered and occupied our pantry, it’s full of carbohydrates and it has energy too but we forgot about the healthier grains…
