Khandvi is a Gujarati dish made with gram flour/besan. Sour curd and spices are added and and rolls are made with the cooked batter. I tried with Ragi and it came out really well and tasted awesome!
Kunukku is a snack item prepared with soaked and ground rice and pulses along with spices and deep fried later. Replacing rice with millet didn't change the taste. The millet kunukkus stay crisp for a long time and absorb less oil compared to rice.
Mullu thenkuzhal is a snack item made during Janmashtami and Diwali. Rice flour is mixed with lentil flours and deep fried to make this crispy snack. I replaced rice flour with jowar flour and added kasoori methi for flavour.
Namak Para also known as Nimki is a crunchy savoury snack item, generally seasoned with cumin seeds or ajwain/omam. This is a tea time snack. I have used jowar flour along with powdered semolina/sooji/rawa.
This crunchy pakoda is usually made using rice flour and besan. I have used jowar flour and it was as crunchy as rice pakoda. This goes well with tea or as a side dish for rice varieties.
