Foxtail Millet Kheer Recipe -- How to make Korra Biyyam Payasam

Hi, Thank you friends, and viewers. Today I will post how to make foxtail millet kheer recipe.

Millets are good for health. They can be consumed in different ways, make roti, dosa, kichidi or upma, and also try to make kheer with them.
Foxtail millet or Korra biyyam or Korralu, I have tasted them for the first time, when we were traveling from Hyderabad to Vijayawada, in a road-side restaurant. They serve food in plantain leaves and water would be served in clay tumblers or kullad. It was really an awesome feeling like having a healthy and tasty food outside that too in a healthy way. First, they serve some dessert with millets, that day it was foxtail millet kheer. I liked it very much, it was not too sweet and nor it was heavy on the tummy. After returning from the trip, I tried it. It is very easy to make and takes very less ghee or clarified butter and we have to prepare it with jaggery which is again good for health. New bees can also make it easily without any expertise. Interestingly kids also love it very much.

Carrot Halwa Recipe -- How to make Gajar Ka Halwa

Hi, Thank you, friends and viewers. Today I will post how to make gajar ka halwa recipe.

Gajar ka halwa is the season's best sweet made as new year special at my home. Gajar means Carrot in Hindi. We get a good carrot in this season, red gajar or carrot is a special vegetable available in the winter. Gajar ka halwa made with red carrot, of course we can use regular carrot also, but red carrot has sweeter than the regular one and also nice tempting color. Every December 31st I prepare this sweet and distribute among friends and neighbors. To get the rich taste we use khoya/kowa/mawa instead of milk, but we can use whole milk also.
Now coming to the recipe, I prefer to use a hand grater for grating carrot, instead of mixer grinder or food processor. We need to saute the carrot till we get the nice aroma of it, otherwise, the raw smell will be there. Do not add more sugar as the carrot have some sweetness in it and adding milk or mawa gives sweetness, so take care not to add more sugar.
