This is my 300th recipe on Rathika's Nest, and I wish to thank all my readers for your kind support without which this feat would not have been possible. Many thanks indeed!
Millets are often used in traditional cooking to make breakfast items and rotis. I have tried using millet flour for baking and it has turned out well. Pearl millet (கம்பு) is rich in carbohydrate, protein, dietary fiber, vitamins mainly B complex and minerals especially phosphorus and potassium. Pearl millet flour is light brown in color and is available in most grocery stores. This snack, baked with pearl millet flour and peanuts is nutritive and tasty. Go on. Give it a try!
Cut it into quarters and serve as a snack. This easy-to-make millet snack is quite filling.
