"Ragi roti? Bajra roti? Even your kids refuse anything that's not regular wheat!"
If this sounds like your home, you’re not alone.
Millets are a powerhouse, but introducing them without resistance requires smart hacks!

Why Indian Families Are Turning to Millets:

  • 1. Higher Fiber → Better digestion, reduced constipation
  • 2. Low Glycemic Index → Great for diabetes control
  • 3. Rich in Iron, Calcium, Protein → Boosts immunity naturally
  • 4. Gluten-free options → Gentler on stomachs

The Real Challenges Parents Face:

  • Kids reject the "rough texture" or "different taste"
  • Family members miss the soft feel of wheat rotis
  • Store-bought millet flours often taste bitter or stale
  • Lack of quick, easy millet recipes

How Fresh Millet Flour Changes the Game:

  • Milling FRESH ragi, bajra, and jowar makes the flour less bitter
  • You can blend 20-30% millets with wheat initially - softer transition
  • Fresh flour retains a natural sweetness that store packets lose
  • Home-milled flour is more aromatic, making food tastier

Start by mixing 10% bajra into wheat atta for parathas and gradually increase it.
Soon your family will enjoy pure millet theplas without a single complaint!
