The Instant Refreshment: Your Daily Go-To
First, a quick recap of its primary use:

- Sweetened Breakfast: For a wholesome and naturally sweet start to your day, blend it with warm milk (dairy or plant-based) or curd and a touch of jaggery.
- Overnight Gut Support: For enhanced prebiotic and postbiotic benefits, consider drinking it before bedtime to support improved digestion and gut health overnight.
Traditional Delights, Modern Ease
FoundItGood allows you to recreate beloved South Indian staples with unprecedented ease, bypassing the lengthy traditional preparation processes.
- Hearty Porridges (Koozh & Kali): Beyond the instant drink, you can prepare a thicker, more substantial porridge (koozh) or kali by adjusting the liquid ratio. This makes for a filling and nutritious meal, often enjoyed with traditional accompaniments like small onions or green chilies.
- Steamed Delicacies (Puttu & Idiyappam): Incorporate FoundItGood Kambu Koozh Powder into your recipes for traditional steamed dishes like puttu and idiyappam, adding a nutritional boost and the goodness of fermented pearl millet.
- Kozhukatai: This sweet or savory dumpling can also benefit from the addition of FoundItGood Kambu Koozh Powder, enhancing its nutritional profile.
Creative Culinary Innovations: Beyond the Traditional
The inherent versatility of FoundItGood Kambu Koozh Powder extends far beyond its primary use as a beverage, allowing for seamless integration into a wide array of culinary creations. It can be utilized to prepare traditional South Indian dishes such as porridge (koozh), kali, puttu, idiyappam, and kozhukatai, maintaining authentic flavors with modern ease. For contemporary applications, the powder can be incorporated into atta for making healthier rotis, added to idli/dosa batter for enhanced nutrition, or used in pancakes. It can even be blended with whole wheat flour for baking nutritious cakes and cookies. Furthermore, it serves as an excellent substitute for rice or quinoa in grain bowls, can be added to soups and stews to create more filling and nutritious meals, or used as a binder in veggie burgers and patties. For a healthy and satisfying dessert, leftover cooked millet can be transformed into a delicious pudding by mixing it with regular or dairy-free milk.
Tips for Seamless Integration:
- Start Small: If you’re new to cooking with millet powder, begin by substituting a small portion of your regular flour or grain with FoundItGood Kambu Koozh Powder and gradually increase the amount.
- Adjust Liquid: Millet absorbs liquid, so you might need to slightly increase the water or other liquids in your recipes when adding FoundItGood Kambu Koozh Powder.
- Experiment with Flavors: FoundItGood Kambu Koozh Powder has a mild, earthy flavor that pairs well with both sweet and savory ingredients. Don’t be afraid to experiment with spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables.
