Meet the millets: their health benefits and snack ideas

The United Nations has declared 2023 as the year of millets. There was a time when millets were the staple food in many parts of the world. Millets are popularly known as Bajra, Rajgira, Kakum, Kutt, chena in India and were once eaten by the common man. Rice was only served during special occasions and festivals but with time the cultivation of millets declined in India due to the change in cultivation pattern and colonisation. 

One of the reasons behind cultivating millets is that they are very easy to grow and usually require less attention. They can be easily cultivated in non-arable land. In recent years, eating healthy has been in trend like cereals, superfoods, oats etc. Millets are one of the most nutritious foods that you can consume and it requires comparatively less effort and water to grow millets.

Millets are of two types :

  • Husked grain millets: Foxtail, Kodo millets 
  • Naked grain millets: Ragi, Jowar, Bajra

Millets are rich in fibre, calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and other nutrients. These are also gluten-free and get absorbed very easily.  They are especially good for diabetic people as they are slow in digestion and hence do not cause a rise in blood sugar levels. Millet based snacks are loved throughout the world. Here are some of the millet-based snacks ideas that you can enjoy with your friends and family: 

  • Millet burger
  • Millet bhelpuri 
  • Ragi wheat dosa
  • Jowar Medley
  • Foxtail millet porridge
  • Ragi chakli 

The best part about these snacks is that they are healthy and tasty. You can enjoy them without spoiling your diet chart.

Pushpa 2 The Rule advance booking tracking better than RRR, Jawan in the US; crosses .4 million with 10 days to go

Pushpa 2 The Rule has already crossed $1.4 million in advance bookings in North America even though the release is 10 days away.

Allu Arjun‘s Pushpa 2: The Rule is still nine days from its theatrical release but is already breaking box office records. The film is set for a grand release worldwide, and if its US pre-sales are any indication, it will likely get a bumper opening. The film is already tracking better than blockbusters like RRR and Jawan in the US.

Pushpa 2’s US tsunami

On Monday, trade tracker Venky Box Office shared the film’s advance booking collections for its US premiere. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the trade analyst tweeted, “#Pushpa2TheRule USA Premiere Advance Sales: $1,383,949 – 900 Locations – 3420 Shows – 50008 Tickets Sold.”

By Sunday evening, Pushpa 2 had sold over 50,000 tickets in the US, with the release 10 days away. The tweet added that North American advance booking collections had crossed $1.458 million (around ₹12 crore), ‘which is a record’.

Trade analysts say that the film is set to cross $1.5 million with nine days to go, which means it is outpacing SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan, the two biggest Indian movies in the US in recent times. Both films grossed over $15 million each in North America and are among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in the continent. Pushpa 2 is matching the pace of Shah Rukh’s other 2023 blockbuster, Pathaan, and is just behind the all-time record holder for India in the US – Baahubali 2 (which earned $20 million in the territory).

All about Pushpa 2: The Rise

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rise is the sequel to the director’s 2021 pan-India hit Pushpa: The Rise. It brings back Allu Arjun as the titular anti-hero, alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Fassil. The film, touted to be one of the biggest Indian productions ever, is set to hit the screens on December 5.
