Sound familiar?

Does this sound like you?

Most people give up on millets for these four reasons.

🫓
Rotis crack and breakThe dough falls apart on the board and the rotis turn hard.
🤷
Don't know how to cook themSoak or not? How much water? Which millet for what?
😣
Heavy on the stomachToo much, too fast, and your digestion complains.
👨‍👩‍👧

This plan solves all four: the hot-water roti method, simple soaking rules, a gentle week-by-week start, and family-favourite millet dishes.
