 Have you ever eaten pizza, pakoda, bisi bele bath, dosa, payasam and biscuits, all made of millet? If not, head for the two-day millet mela that offers millet products, recipes and much more.

The exhibition ends on Sunday at 9 pm.
Organised by the Green Path Organic State in Malleswaram, the fair is drawing many a health freak.

There are two food courts offering a variety of tasty and nutritious eatables made of millet. Yogish Appajaiah, an organiser, said maida, refined sugar, oil and salt were not used in making these food products.

Manjunatha K L, another organiser, said people could buy directly from growers who had come from four districts of Karnataka. There is also exhibition and sale of millet-processed products, awareness talks, film screening on millet farming and its benefits and seeds for cultivation, he said.

The event is part of a series of exhibitions to promote organic food.

She found the exhibition informative. Santhosh H from Dollars Colony felt awareness was lacking on the benefits of millets.
