Processing Steps
1. Preparation of Ingredients
- Selection & Cleaning:
- Sprouted jowar and emmer wheat grains are cleaned to remove dust and impurities.
- Sprouting & Drying:
- Soaked and sprouted grains are dried at low temperatures (<50°C) to retain nutrients.

3. Shaping & Molding
- The dough is rolled out to 5–8 mm thickness and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters.
- Optionally, a fork can be used to create perforations for even baking.
4. Baking Process
