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.
