Abstract

Common millet rice served with curries is very tasty indeed, and so is the porridge prepared from common millet ‘rice’. Common millet ‘biryani” is a delicacy. Hoppers, string hoppers which are common Sri Lankan foods and all kinds of local sweet meats can be prepared from common millet flour. Some of the millets are better balanced food than rice, by virtue of their higher protein, fat and mineral contents.
