Homemade Healthy Mix Powder | Sathu Mavu Kanji Podi is very easy to make. With all the pulses and nuts in hand, its so quick and easy to make and when its homemade, it’s cheaper, we ensure hygienic with right pulses and nuts that’s suits our body. Also, easily we get a kg of this healthy mix powder which we can store and and use for a month.

We can get store bought Healthy mix that comes in very popular brands. Though the store bought mix has the ingredients written, few of them might not be suitable for our body condition and we can’t exclude that from the mix.  But the popular brands also sell the mix of pulses and nuts which we can take and make the powder at home.

Easy to make at home

For the healthy mix, we are going use lots of healthy pulses like Ragi, Bajra, Barley, Wheat, Red rice, sago, and much more. All of those pulses and nuts are just heated up and grind into smooth powder. If we have access to rice mill near our home, thats so great. We just need to heat up the pulses individually and then take it together to the rice mill and we need to tell them to grind it smoothly. But for the people like me, who don’t have access to rice mill, we need to do it our regular mixie. While grinding it in mixie, we need to do in batches so that the mixie doesn’t gets heated up. Also sieve the powder twice to make sure we have smooth powder.

Notes

1. For the Sathu Maavu preperation, Dry roast each ingredient separately. Most of the grains start popping and a nice aroma when it gets roasted. Do this roasting on a medium low flame and keep stirring constantly to avoid burning
2. Include the pulse or nuts as per your needs. Some nuts may be allergic to kids so whatever pulses that I used suit your needs, include that and make the healthy mix
3. When cooking the healthy mix porridge, keep stirring to avoid any lumps
4. For the Healthy mix ladoo, do not add the hot ghee all at once. Take a portion of healthy mix ladoo mixture and add 3-4 teaspoon of ghee at once and mix with spoon and make ladoo. When the mixture gets too dry, add more ghee
