Millet Carrot Kheer

Millets are amazing in their nutritional content, it is 3-5 times nutritionally superior than wheat and rice in terms of proteins, vitamins and minerals. It contains important amino acids and are very beneficial for diabetics, obesity and heart diseases. Proso Millet is known as “Baragu” in kannada, “Pani-varagu” in Tamil and “Chena or Chin” in Hindi.

Increasing awareness about millets has also influenced me and has found a place in my pantry too. I have brought all kinds of millets and trying new recipes by replacing rice and wheat with millets. Hoping to share few recipes on Millets soon.

Tried this carrot Kheer payasam recently, as it turned out so good I thought of sharing this recipe here.

 As Millets is very good for diabetics because of its GI ,I prepared this sweet dish to make it diabetic friendly. Hence I have used Black jaggery here and called this as Payasa. Though I’m not a payasa lover, still I loved this sweet and definitely I’ll be cooking it in future. If you haven’t started using millet yet, it’s time for you to introduce it in your family. But don’t replace rice and wheat with millets completely , everything as its own pros and cons.  Use everything in moderation , make wise food choices, cook right and eat healthy.
