Kambu Biscuits (Pearl Millet Cookies)


Kambu biscuits, made using kambu (pearl millet) flour, are crunchy, flavorful, and wholesome baked snacks that offer a nutritious alternative to refined flour biscuits. With their mildly nutty taste and satisfying texture, these biscuits are ideal for tea-time or as a healthy snack for all ages.

Pearl millet is rich in dietary fiber, plant-based protein, and essential minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, which help improve digestion, strengthen bones, and support overall energy levels. Its low glycemic index helps regulate blood sugar levels, making kambu biscuits a better choice for diabetics when consumed in moderation.

Pearl millet also supports heart health, boosts immunity, aids in weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness, and is naturally gluten-free, making kambu biscuits a nutritious, filling, and guilt-free snack option.
