Proso millet is a protein-rich grain that also contains minerals such as phosphorus and magnesium. The amount of phosphrous (206mg) and magnesium (153mg) in this millet is higher than in other millets. Processing such as soaking and roasting affects the mineral content and fibre, however it reduced anti-nutritional factors like phytate and tannin content. Many traditional Indian Recipes have been prepared from proso millet or blended with other cereal and legume flours to enhance the nutritional value and palatability. Development and value addition to proso millet incorporated fresh products like Proso millet chapati and kitchari. It can be concluded that sensory evaluation done on all the recipes revealed that Proso millet significantly improved their organoleptic evalutaion. Proso millet formulated chapati and kitchari was found rich in nutrients and its overall acceptability was also good.
