    Manju, have you tried kambu(pearl millet)..for that too, we have to remove the husk in the same manner..if you dont sprinkle water, the skin wouldnt come off...thats why I ask you to theluchufying water...but it is not compulsory to use pulse mode..the thing is you have to give a short run...else it might be get powdered..so give a run for seconds,give break and continue..let me know the outcome :)....

    I tried thinai rice yesterday and it came out very well, morning i just took half a cup (small) and it satified me for both lunch and dinner. I did not touch rice yesterday :) i do not feel any difference at all and i was so happy that i had something so nutritious. :)

    Hi Friends!

    Very informative...I too bought the thinai with outer skin :bonk but successfully turned it as a ladoo...I washed it well and sundried...roasted and grinded it in Mill to make this recipe.

    If you get time just watch a cookery show in Jaya TV on every Wednesday 6.00PM, they show to cook different millet recipes....its really useful

    Thanks a lot and lot Prana i followed the same procedure and sucessfully removed the husk of it and also cooked it. I have once cooked pearl millet as well a year back but faced the same issue so i never used it. After knowing your method it will be easy for cook these millets.
