Instant noodles… but made with millets!” I made this for my daughter. Healthy choice , full of vegetables and combination of tofu elevates this meal.
Slurrp Farm Millet Noodles – Curry Masala flavor is a popular “healthier noodles” option, especially compared to regular instant noodles. A blend of millets like ragi (finger millet), Bajra ( Pearl Millet) , foxtail millet and jowar( Sorghum)
Followed the instructions on the packet . Added loads of veggies like French beans , carrot , capsicums, mushrooms and green onions ! Also combined by making Asian style tofu . It’s was very delicious! Simple healthier swaps in everyday meals. 🌿

Have you tried millet noodles before? 🌾🍜

In my kitchen, a good podi/ powder is always within reach to make a simple meal more satisfying. This diabetes-friendly seed chutney podi is my nourishing twist on the traditional version. Instead of only lentils, I’ve added flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds, which bring wonderful nuttiness along with fiber, healthy fats, and minerals that support steady energy and balanced blood sugar.

I love sprinkling a spoonful over warm idlis, dosa, cheela, or millet upma. It’s simple to make, full of flavor, and an easy way to add a little extra goodness to everyday meals.

⬇️ NutriSeed Chutney Podi ⬇️

Ingredients

(Medium Batch)

Seeds & Protein Base
1. Flaxseeds- 1/4 cup
2. Pumpkin seeds 1/4 cup ( roasted)
3. Sunflower seeds 1/4 cup( roasted)
4. Sesame seeds- 2 tablespoons
5. Roasted Bengal gram-2 tablespoons
6. Roasted almonds - 1/4 cup

Flavor & Sugar-Support Spices
1. Curry leaves -10-12 leaves
2. Dry red chilli-3 -4
3. Fenugreek seeds -1/2 teaspoons
4. Cumin seeds -1 teaspoon
5. Asafoetida- 1/4 teaspoon
6. Salt to taste

Method :

To prepare this nutritious seed chutney podi, begin by heating a heavy pan on a low flame. Add the flaxseeds and dry roast them until they begin to lightly pop and release their aroma. Remove and set aside.. Next, roast the sesame seeds until they start to crackle and give off a nutty aroma. Add the roasted chana dal and toast it until it turns light golden and crunchy. Now add the methi seeds, jeera, dry red chillies, and curry leaves to the pan and roast them gently until aromatic, taking care not to burn the spices. I have used roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds so I did not dry roasted them . If taking it raw roast it well before.

Allow all the roasted ingredients to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer everything to a mixer jar and grind into a slightly coarse powder, making sure not to grind it too fine as the texture adds to the flavor. Add salt and a pinch of asafoetida. Mix and store well in an airtight jar.
