Samai (Little millet) like other millets packed with nutrients. We can make many wonderful dishes with Samai. Usually, I make Kichadi, Pongal out of Samai. This time, its Samai Aloo Tikki (Little Millet Potato Cutlet), a very appetizing and yummy dish also we are using millet which is really healthy. We can make many variations in this cutlet recipe. I made this yummy dish on a fasting day so I didn't add rich masala or onions. But we can very well add onions and other vegetables and make this dish even more tastier. I have given the way I prepared and it turned out so tasty.
