millet powder

Last week when I went to Salem my MIL gave me this homemade mixed millet powder /Energy mix powder and told me to prepare Dosa or porridge for our breakfast/dinner. She also told me the quantity & the procedure of making it. I never thought its so easy to make. Sorry, I couldn’t take stepwise pictures. I will try to add it soon. Yesterday I made dosa with this flour and it came out very well. I was very happy & contented to get the benefits of all millet/sirudhaniyam in one recipe. Sendhil told me to blog this recipe as it may be useful to many of you. 

So here you go, my MIL’s mixed millet flour aka millet sathu maavu recipe for you all. But this powder is only for adults and not for kids. U can make any number of variations by adding moong dal, nuts and rice too. U can prepare all our south Indian breakfast recipes like porridge, dosa, kozhukattai, adai & paniyaram using this flour. Next week I will try to share some yummy recipes using this millet powder.
Till then check out my detailed post on millets and its varieties with its health benefits.

Note
  • Roasting the millets gives a nice flavour to the powder. Don’t skip it but be careful while roasting. Do not burn them.

Make this millet powder and enjoy the benefits of all millets in one recipe.

    Just now I was going through your web site reg. millets and its uses and recipes. Very useful information indeed. I would like to ask following questions please:

    1) Reg. millets sathu maavu : for making porridge can we mix this powder directly with milk, or does it require stirring before adding milk with the stirred and cooked flour?

    2)for making dosa, how much of this flour to be mixed with 1 cup rice and half cup urad dal ground flour? (Usually our dosa proportion is one cup rice and half a cup urad dal)

    Request yr reply please.

    Thanks

    Hi Chitra, I came across your blog on how to prepare Sathu Maavu. I am an housewife with a 3 yrs old kid, and have been giving Sathu Maavu Pooridge to my kid over the last 2 years on my mothers insistence, I could see in person the health benefits and how her immunity has increased over the years. I plan to sell this powder mix to people who are interested, and can arrange the supply across India. It would be completely home made. Please pass this to your friends who might be interested or drop me a mail to kalaivanikrisni@gmail.com if you require further details

    Do we need to wash millets before roasting

    Hi Priyanka,
    I have just cleaned and used it. You can wash it too. In that case, spread the millets in a cotton cloth after washing and let it dry completely. Then roast and proceed it.

    Thank you for the recipe! I don't have access to a mill here in Germany. If I directly mix different millet flours, will it work? would I have to roast/toast all the flours first separately? 🙂 Thanks for all the information on the millets too
