U can go to CFTRi mysore i ws told they have the dehullung machine for foxtIail millet or they will tell u who has this machine

Yes, I have heard about the machine too. Though I have not had the opportunity to visit and see the facility. Look forward to doing it sometime in the near future. And I am not sure if they would allow outsiders to use the facility as a job shop.
There is a Center for excellence in Small Millets at the GKVK campus in B’luru where one can get their own grains and process it. It would be good to check with the facility manager before going though.

Dear Vinay,
The simplest and least trouble route would be to sell it in the market and buy foxtail millet rice. But if you would like to process and eat the rice from these grains itself, There are a few ways in which you can process foxtail millet to its rice form. Depending on how much time and resources you have on hand, I can suggest a few possibilities. Feel free to write to or call me.

In North America we get Millets – Bob’s Red Mill brand. I think it’s Foxtail millet. Started using it like upma, konji, payasam, and idli with udad dal. Tastes great. Using slowly and gradually. I observe day to day as to how my body reacts. Cleansing seems to be happening. Great replacement to rice and wheat.

Thank you for sharing your experience Shrinivas !
From their product pictures, and my experience of the grains we found in the coops in the mid West (of USA), it seems very likely that it is proso millet. When cooked if the millet rice kernels still have a chewy shell, its a confirmation that its proso millet.
I hope you shall continue your exploring other millets too. Thanks again for your comment !

Foxtail Millets are called “Korralu” In telugu in Andrapradesh . I am diabetic for past 15 years . I never had idea what to eat apart from rice and curry in little quantities .
Almost 3 months ago i came to know about “korralu” and i stated eating in replacement of white rice . you can cook them in regular rice cooker .
With the rice cooker 1 Cup of Foxtail millet ( Korralu) you can add 2 and half cups of water . and it cooks very well (not mushy) and you can eat with any curry .
My sugar levels are now came down dramatically . The best time to eat is at lunch time .
Thank you..

Foxtail millet is called Thenai in tamil and ನವಣೆ (Navane) in Kannada. Please see this post on tips for cooking millet rice.
Any of the millet rices are better alternatives to paddy rice for those with Type II diabetes. I always advise a few basic practices when making changes in one’s diet: (i) please make gradual changes rather than a sudden shift – it helps the body adapt to the new diet. (ii) please observe how your body responds, our bodies do not follow textbooks or prescriptions and most importantly (iii) please consult a medical advisor / dietitian / doctor and get their opinion of how to interpret your observations.
Specifically, it is advisable to use millet rices as a paddy rice replacement, especially for lunch. In general, it is advisable to have dinner at least 2 to 3 hours before going to sleep. And this applies even when having millet rice for dinner. In many of our friends’ and relatives’ families we have a different rice every day – semi/un polished paddy, foxtail millet, little millet, kodo millet …

Any flour mill would be able to mill foxtail millet to flour. Please note that it is advisable to mill the flour using the rice form rather than the grain form.
If you are looking for a place from where you can get it to a rice form, please let us know the quantity you have and your location. We might be able to suggest a millet processing center not too far from you.

Sadly this is because we have denigrated millets in the last few decades and see some of them as fit only for animal and bird consumption.
