MIXED MILLET PANIYARAM I MILLET RECIPES

Millets are very healthy. In my childhood I could not get a chance to taste all the millet varieties except rage/finger millet. But nowadays, kids are really so lucky and they are having millets from in the young age to grow healthier. Lunch box is very important to kids, right? Some kids will return back the foods what we give to them. So we should make their favorite or tasty recipes for them. I prepared mixed millet paniyaram with jaggery syrup, which is traditional and full packed nutrition as well as delicious food. Check out my other paniyaram varieties sweet kuzhi paniyaram and carrot kara kuzhi paniyaram...
