As per Doctors advise, one of the huge changes we bought into our diet especially My H’s Diet is to remove off white rice and to include millets. Trust me I could see in live how much changes it brings in our health and medical results.
One of the replacement is samai and this samai kozhukattai is just like rice kozhukattai and makes no difference in taste. You can go ahead and try this. I have soaked it and ground to coarse paste. Else it will be very crumbly and difficult to eat.
The hesistation to use millets was one reason that I thought we should be compromising on the taste. So i wanted to explore maximum possibilities to bring out tastier dishes so that it can be adapted everyday!
