Pearl millet flakes granola bar aka MG bar

Let's start with a sweet recipe for the kutty tummies. As the blog name suggests it's yummy,😋😋 and you won't get worried if your kiddo asked for more.

With no further delay let's go for the recipe. 

I named it MG bar short form of millet granola bar, s s myself named , u can name it as u wish because the ingredients can be customised as you wish.

For those who want to know what is granola ,it's nothing but our very own kadalamittai(ground nut chikki) but with many different ingredients and we need not cook this for a long time as needed for  chikki.

But if we say it as milletmittai (woww sounds good😜)  our kids will be 😏 , mittai a. Hence the name MG bar,😌.

Now the recipe

MG BAR

Ingredients:

• Pearl millet poha(kambu aval)- 1tbsp
• Dates - 4 or 5 pieces
• Crushed almond- 4 or 5 pieces
• Flaxseed ( aali vithai) - 2tsp
• Jaggery or brown sugar- 1tbsp
• Ghee- 1tbsp

Method:

1. Take all your ingredients in a plate before starting. 
2. Chop the deseeded dates into small pieces.
3. Dry roast the pearl millet and flaxseed separately. (Regarding this seeds we will see in detail later) , it will taste like seasame seeds (ellu). Roasting pearl millet is purely optional, if u feel any raw smell with the poha do that step.
   
4. Heat a tawa and add ghee.
   

   
5. Add the dates and cook till it get mashed, it will take 2-3 minutes. Now add jaggery powder too.
   
6. Once the mixture gets thickened add the remaining ingredients one by one. Mix them well after 2 minutes switch off stove.
7. Transfer the contents to a ghee greased plate.
   
8. Let it cool for some 5 minutes. Slice into your desired shape., Or to do justification for the name MG bar let's cut it in bar shape. TADDAA ITS READY
   
9. To make it more attractive to kids you can pack like this
   
10. U can use rice poha or any other poha, cashew , walnut, any dry fruits. Mostly granola bars contain oats. But we got more nutritious grains than that. So replaced it.
11. Hope all like this one. Will come back with another recipe. Take care everyone.
