In an initiative aimed at offering alternatives to health conscious people and also to promote millets, Gayatri Industries, a Hubballi-based company, has come up with five ready mix products of millet dishes.
Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Friday, CEO of Gayatri Industries Prasanna Katti and Director Jayateertha Katti said that for the first time, ready mixes of millet dishes are being launched and the formal launch will take place on Sunday at Gamanagatti Industrial Estate.
Mr. Katti said that the products will come in powdered format and one can make millet dishes after mixing the powder in water and cooking it for about five to seven minutes.
Along with dosa mix, idli mix, the company has come up with Paddu Mix and Bhaji/Pakoda Mix to cater to the needs of health conscious people. Millet was once a staple food of the region but slowly disappeared from the menu, he said.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and RSS functionary Arvindrao Deshpande will launch the products on Sunday.
