About Thinai'S Barnyard Millet (500G)
On a busy weekday, nobody wants a grain that takes 40 minutes to cook. That is why millets often lose to white rice and rava on weekday mornings.
Kuthiraivali solves that. Barnyard millet has the smallest grain of the common millets and cooks the fastest, in about 15 minutes, with a soft texture close to rava and broken rice.
Our kuthiraivali is unpolished and bought direct from farmers. Rinse it two or three times, then cook one cup with about two and a half cups of water. It works anywhere you would use rice or rava: kuthiraivali pongal with pepper and ghee, upma with vegetables, curd rice for the lunch box, kichadi, or idli and dosa batter mixed with urad dal. Because the taste is mild, it slips into family meals without anyone noticing the switch.
Why families pick this:
- Unpolished barnyard millet, bought direct from farmers
- The quickest-cooking millet, ready in about 15 minutes
- Mild taste for pongal, upma, curd rice and idli
- Millets generally have a lower glycaemic index than polished white rice
The healthiest grain is the one you can actually cook on a Tuesday morning.
Add a 500g pack of kuthiraivali to your cart and try kuthiraivali pongal this week.
