Complete Details of Technology:	:
Cookies are chemically leavened low moisture products and are ideal for nutrient availability, palatability, convenience and compactness. Generally, refined wheat flour is used for the preparation of cookies that contains high starch and low fibre. Millets are gluten-free, therefore being an ideal choice for persons with celiac disease, who are frequently irritated by the gluten content of wheat and other common cereal grains. A combination of millets and spices led to the development of functional foods, which provide benefits beyond basic nutrition. Millet based cookies are available in market. However, spice flavoured millet-based cookies with optimized levels of millet flour and spices are unique Quality of the spice flavoured millet cookies were evaluated with respect to physical, biochemical and microbiological standards. Spices were added to enhance the flavour of the cookies. To select the most suitable spice to be added for the preparation of spice-based millet cookies, cardamom and black pepper were experimented. Dried cardamom and black pepper were powdered in a mixer grinder and the powders was used for the development of sorghum millet cookies. Cardamom and black pepper powder at optimized levels was added to sorghum flour based on preliminary experiments. The technology was initially optimized at the lab scale and then scaled up for pilot scale production. Shelf life of the product is restricted to three months. The process know-how of spice flavoured millet is commercialised to two entrepreneurs from Kerala during December 2023. Financial analysis showed a benefit cost ratio of 1.13 and payback period of 1.9 years for the production of 1.6 tonnes of product per year. Validation of the spice flavoured millet cookies were tested by comparing the quality parameters of the developed cookies with the market samples.
Brief Description of Technology Including Salient Features:
Dry ingredients used for the development of millet cookies such as millet flour and refined wheat flour (in a specific ratio), baking powder, custard powder, guar gum, and salt were weighed as per the formulation and were thoroughly mixed and sieved using a hand sieve. The dough was kept covered and allowed to rest for a specific period at room temperature. The dough was then flattened manually to make a sheet of desired thickness and cut into the desired shape using a mould. It was then transferred to previously greased baking trays. The trays were then placed in a preheated ) commercial baking oven for baking . After baking the trays were taken out of the oven, cooled and packed in biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) or metallised polyester packages.
Benefits/Utility	:
• Consumption of healthy snacks reduces reliance on ultra processed foods and thereby life-style diseases • Doubling income of millet farmers through value addition • Manufacturing popularizes ‘make in India’ initiative and contributes to the economy of nation • Income generation through entrepreneurship development
Social Impact	:
The tecnology is commercialized to two entrepreneurs (start-ups)from Kerala, who are successfully marketing the product. it serves as income generation for the entrepreneurs and also attracts participation of Indina youth in agriculture.
TargetUsers/Stake holders	:	Farmers and entrepreneurs
