Hope you all enjoyed the Diwali with your
family and friends with lots of fun and foods… After the Diwali, here I come
with simple yet very nutritional millet powder. Am great coffee lover, though I
wanted to avoid coffee and think to have some healthy drinks, so I prepared
this millet powder as my own. I have mixed all the millets, nuts and dals together
and grind into powder.
Its is multi purpose flour and you can
call it as sathu maavu. We can use the flour to make salt porridge, sweet porride,
kheer, kozhukattai or can mix it with chapathi flour or dosa batter. It will be
so aromatic while cook the flour. I already shared homemade ragi malt powder... Here is the recipe for most nutritional flour
for you all…
