This recipe was sent by one of my Singapore reader and friend. Many thanks Ibbani for this healthy recipe. Menthya hittu is a medley of 4-5 different types of pulses flour. The resulting cocktail powder is a protein rich powder which is good for health. Here is how Ibbani makes menthya hittu ..

Good one...
Nice.. will have to do it some time.
Readers Post column is fantastic, appreciate your efforts!
Thanks Ibbani & LG. I will surely prepare them soon :)
Thanks ri ee recipe post madiddakke. My mother never made this so I didn't know how to make it either. I have heard that if you have this hittu, you can make some kind of gojju with it within 5 minutes or so it seems. Do you know anything about it. I can guess by mixing this hittu with water and adding tadka and huli should work, but want to know if there is something like that or it is my wild imagination.
HI Lakshmi,
