KUTHIRAIVALI ADAI/ BARNYARD MILLET DOSA
Consumption of millets has been in practice since olden days especially in East Asian and African countries. They’re rich in dietary fiber, iron, calcium and B vitamins and they release sugar slowly in the blood and so it’s much suitable for diabetic. Though they’re less popular , the benefits are abundant. So make it as a food practice to consume millets minimum twice or thrice a week. We have a “MILLET DAY ” once in a week and that day most of my dishes are prepared using millets.For that you need to know more varieties like millets idli, dosa, adai, sevai,upma, pongal, kichdi , paniyaram and patties & pancakes. It’s easy to replace rice with millet in most of the recipes. So give it a try.
