About Healthmix Powder Cookies/ Sathumaavu Cookies
Healthmix powder/ Sathumaavu is widely used by south Indian mother's as a weight gain food for children. Adults too consume it for a healthy lifestyle. It is a combination of millets, grains, nuts, lentils which contribute to kids healthy weight gain and normally given in porridge form as first foods for infants after 7 months. To make it edible for toddlers and kids I have made it into cookies which can be a perfect healthy snack for their summer holidays.
