Last week I tried thinai idli recipe for the first time using fermentation method. Earlier I tried an Instant Foxtail millet idli which was a super flop. But this recipe worked out very well. Idli came out soft and spongy. I made idli as well as dosa with this batter. Its taste & texture was more like our usual idli, dosa. Only its color was not pure white.
We were very happy to have a healthy breakfast recipe & I was even more happy as i have got yet another interesting idli recipe to include in my idli varieties. In other languages, Thinai is called as ”Foxtail millet” in English,”Navane” in Kannada,”Kakum”in Hindi,”Korra” in Telugu,”Thina” in Malayalam,”Kaon” in Bengali,”Kang” in Marathi & Gujarati and ”Kanghu” in Oriya.
Last year few readers told me to post some quinoa recipes & I was thinking that quinoa in called as Thinai in Tamil.
But when I googled, I found quinoa & thinai (foxtail millet) are different. I will try to buy quinoa in Bangalore and try to post some healthy recipes with it. But before that, I wanted to share this easy and healthy millets recipe which is a great replacement for our rice idli.

I prepared idli batter and dosa better with same measurements..but for idli batter I used idli rice along with fix tail millet and for dosa,i used dosa rice , foxtail millet,but omitted poha..my question is , batter has fermented well , but the smell of idlis were different when cooked..y is it..
Hi, We are adding more foxtail millet.So its the smell of foxtail millet :)
Wow idly looks so tempting...I have tried already ur thinai idly and we loved it...Tomorrow i am going to try this
Thanks Abinaya. Do share your feedback :)
I have tried to make thinai pongal once nd even cooking after hours it didnt get cooked. My doubt is after soaking thinai will it be like soaked rice or it will b like u soaked thinai
Hi , I think you had used thinai with skin. Buy dehusked ones. It will cook quickly. Thinai after soaking becomes soft n easy to cook n grind like rice. Please check whether you have thinai with skin. Thanks
