Traditional pearl millet dishes include bhakri roti, which is consumed all throughout India from Maharashtra to Gujarat and Karnataka, as well as kamban koozh, a traditional porridge from Tamil Nadu.

Traditional finger millet recipes: Ragi balls, also known as ragi mudde in Karnataka, are a common food. Ragi malt, or porridge, is a typical weaning meal since it is filling and simple to digest.
