Frequently asked questions

Which millet should a beginner start with?
This one. Little millet is the mildest and lightest of the siridhanya group — tiny grains, quick cooking, no strong flavour to win anyone over. If your family accepts saame, the rest of the millets follow easily.

Is it filling despite being ‘light’?
Yes — light refers to how it sits on the stomach, not how long it keeps you full. The fibre keeps you satisfied; it just doesn’t feel heavy afterward.
