Bethica DasFoxtail Millet Custard Pudding
#ml - Millets in general are very popular these days. So check out this kheer / payasam / pudding recipe made of foxtail millet. I added some custard powder to it. However, it is purely optional. You can also use jaggery or dates as a sweetener. This wonder grain is both diabetic and heart friendly. It has a lot of health benefits and antioxidants as it is packed with essential nutrients like fiber, protein, iron, etc.
