Thinai-Kara-Sakkarai-Pongal
Thinai Sakkarai Pongal, thinai sweet pongal, foxtail millet sweet pongal is healthy pongal and perfect to try for this coming Pongal festival. This thinai pongal is like all millets healthy, gluten-free, vegan and the best part it's very difficult to make out the pongal is not made with rice, great isn't it? Foxtail millet also known as Thinai in Tamil, Kangni in Hindi/Punjabi, Korra in Telugu, Navane in Kannada, Thina in Malayalam, Kang in Marathi, Kang in Gujarati, Kaon in Bengali and Kanghu in Oriya.

Millets Friday is back with this sweet millet pongal it's so easy to prepare and thinai makes creamy, delicious pongal that you can easily like this more than regular sakkarai pongal ;) It's just a co-incident that I have posted Venn Pongal (savory pongal) also with thinai and now this sweet version with thinai too.

I have used white jaggery so the pongal color is cream you can also add brown or palm jaggery which not only better but also brings that beautiful brown color to pongal. You can also make millet pongal with any other millet of your choice and the procedure remains the same too. So enjoy this Pongal (Makar Sankranti) with millet sweet pongal.  You can also check Broken Wheat Pongal recipe.
