You are born in one culture and get married into another. While you bring along some fond memories of your tradition, you get to learn and unlearn many new rituals that become a part of your life. Born a Punjabi (yes, I am an Indian first), I chose the man of my life (dreams) and got married with parents' blessings. A couple who thinks on health grounds and have a trail of dreams to serve society in more ways than one. Lucky to have married the boy of my choice, who thinks alike.

Since I am married in Odisha, where every single day is a festival - and I get to unlock several new traditions unheard of. Similarly, the culinary tradition sets north and other regions of the country apart, and Odisha is no different.


The day-long cuckoo calls, the green abundance, the coconut grooves, the diversity of flora, the range of fauna, the dark colored crows, the monstrous lizards, the plethora of temples, the tribal community, the love of locals for their culture, the orthodox fanaticism (that I hate), the rich, diverse, and varied culinary tradition define the place I am in.
chatua cookies from India's odisha 
Before sharing the healthy cookie recipe, it is time to go through the benefits of ingredients. You are already aware of my love for oats. This time I have chosen to exclude oats here and include a multi-mix flour that uses grains, cereals, and nuts. This is Odisha's chatua - a blend of whole wheat, black chickpeas, nuts, poha (flattened rice), and rice. In some families, when they make horlicks for kids, they add dehydrated milk powder or Infant's formula along with sweetener and blend it with water to prepare healthy power-packed food for babies.
I use homemade dehydrated milk powder now. The recipe will be up on the channel soon.

PS: In Odisha, nobody could believe that their favorite chatua would get a new color!

Biscuits made using a special flour (baby food/cerelac) from Odisha. While the locals enjoy a love and hate relationship with chatua, my love with the wholesome flour has just started. What better way to jump-start my sampling of the flour than turning it into my favorite snacks - cookies with jaggery and without baking powder/soda.
I need just one cup of tea (flavored with black cardamom) to accompany these HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS biscuits.
I will be sharing the whole process of making this nutrient-dense multimix flour at home. My MIL's secret recipe that has been with her since ages. Kind of heriloom recipe passed on from generation to generation. Lucky to have got an opportunity to spend some good amount of time with my MIL, thanks to the LOCKDOWN. I know corona has devastated lives, but when you have to live with it, I try to see some positives too. This is one positive - my journey into the deep ocean of Odia cuisine. I am loving every minute of it. Whole wheat, flattened rice, black chickpeas, nuts, and rice.

    1. Thanks for the query. Well, chatua uses roasted whole grains and replacing chatua atta with any other multigrain flour will surely make a difference. What do you intend to make? Cookies or a multimix flour?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body.  Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking.
