Processing Steps

1. Selection & Cleaning of Grains

• Sprouted ragi and emmer wheat grains are cleaned to remove impurities, dust, and husk.
• They are soaked, sprouted, dried (<50°C), and milled into fine flour.

2. Dough Preparation

• Flour Mixing:
  • Combine sprouted ragi flour, sprouted emmer wheat flour, coconut powder, and rock salt in a mixing bowl.

• Sweetener Addition:
  • Add coconut sugar, ensuring even distribution.
• Dough Formation:
  • Slowly add water (or plant-based milk if required) to bind the dough into a firm consistency.

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

• Preheat the oven to 160–170°C.
• Arrange cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
