    Kuthiraivali Paniyaram is a healthy breakfast dish made using Barnyard Millet in paniyaram pan. This is a healthy option as no rice is used to make this dish.

    Our breakfasts are mostly rotated with Dosas, Idlis, and different Upmas. I almost always have a menu plan for different meals as it really helps me manage things better with work and blogging, managing everything on the house front. Menu planning helps in making sure I always have things stocked and nothing surprises me at the last moment, I really could do well without such surprises.

    Of course, the menus do get changed if it needs to be. Otherwise, it is a fixed one with all of them knowing what's for each meal. Ever since I have started using millets in my cooking regularly, I have been using them to replace rice in the tiffin dishes. When Athamma was with us, I used to make any one of the millet for her lunch. I used to pack the same for my lunch as well as it is so tough to cook just for one person.

    Planning on replacing regular rice with millets in your meal:

    Later when it was a question of preparing tiffin items, we have slowly replaced rice with different millets. I haven't come around to sharing all of those. Sometimes I don't even get time enough to click the pictures. So when I planned the thali, I decided I would make all the dishes with any one of the millet and make a complete breakfast Thali.

    We regularly use Ragi, Bajra, and Jowar, so I haven't featured any of these grains. However, the thali is themed on Little Millet (Samai), Barnyard Millet (Kuthiraivali), Kodo Millet (Varagu arisi) based dishes. I made Idlis, Dosas, Paniyaram, Ven Pongal, Sakkarai Pongal. For the side dishes, I made Brinjal Sambar along with chutneys Tomato chutney, Peanut Chutney, Mint Chutney, and Coconut Chutney finally made complete with the Filter Coffee.

    Whenever I make chutneys, I am fixed on the national flag and made all three colours, I know I am crazy!

    With this thali, we are coming to the last of the series. For today, I am going to talk about how I made Kuthiraivali Paniyaram in this No Rice Tamil Nadu Breakfast Thali.

    On the SYL, you can read about the final street food I have to share. Come back next week to read the final week theme that is going to be Simple everyday meals.

      I love the banana leaf setup. I wish I could source them here. Love the paniyaram in any combination and this variation with barnyard millet is just too good to pass.

      Wow! I would love to finish the entire spread..the paniyarams look awesome, but the whole process of soaking and grinding ..I somehow find it so cumbersome. Isn't there an instant version.
      and yes I like those Indian Flag chutneys...they look delicious.

      Paniyaram is my favourite, though I make it less as I can make only a few at a time and it takes time. But I like this healthy version with Barnyard millet, must try.
