Millets are considered as a healthy food. Millets are widely grown in Africa & Northern China. It is gluten free and rich in Fiber, Calcium, Protein & Minerals.
It is a great food for diabetic and cardiac people. Today I just tried tamarind bath like we make using beaten rice (huli avalakki/gojjavalakki) with Little millet, and it was yummy.
With that, as an accompaniment I made curd bath also. Both together tasted awesome. Here I have used 3/4 portion of cooked little millet for tamarind bath and remaining 1/4 portion for curd bath.
