Peeking at todays life style and health habits, many healthy choices can be made while preparing traditional sweets and delicacies and one of it can be millet sweets.

All the cereals used have high nutritional benefits, they are major source of energy as well as great amounts of dietary fiber, carbohydrates and proteins, as well as they are rich in iron and vitamins.
