Health Benefits:
All millets can be grown using natural fertilizers though they do not need any fertilizers or chemical inducers. When planted in rainy season, they grown well on their own. The barnyard millet is rich in mineral salts. Riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin B complex and fiber content are replenished on using the kuthiraivali. It is a rich source of energy. It contains protein, iron, phosphorus, and a very little quantity of fat. Induces hunger. Encourage good digestion.
The thandu keerai or mint or coriander leaves is another good source of mineral salts and beta carotene that are good for eyes.
Growing children, diabetic patients, and heart patients can all consume this fried rice.
