Pani Varagu Payasam | Proso Millet Kheer

Pani Varagu Jaggery Payasam | Proso Millet Kheer

Today being an auspicious day (Saraswati Pooja/Vasant Panchami), I am posting a healthy Pani Varagu Payasam / Proso Millet Kheer recipe. The ninth day of Navratri is celebrated as Saraswati Pooja, Saraswathi is revered as a goddess for Knowledge, Music and art. I keep on saying

about my India trip in most of the posts. Today I have to say this again :-), I have bought all kinds of millets during my trip, my mom and grandma, they both were cleaned all those millets and packed for me. So I have loads of millets right now and using daily in my cooking. I will post the recipes one by one after the Diwali celebration. So coming to this millet, this is very rare or unknown millet, it looks like thinai but little big in size. I totally forgot the name, Me and my MIL only went to the store and purchased all the millets, so i asked her she too doesn’t remember it, later I asked my friend by sending the millet picture (below). She confirmed it as “Pani Varagu” (correct me if I am wrong), by posting the picture in an agricultural facebook group. This millet is called Proso Millet in English (Hindi: Barri; Telugu: Varigalu; Kannada: Baragu).
