Little Millet (Saamai) Tikkis

I'm trying new ways to make millets attractive to kids (and adults as well). One such trial was these tikkis. Perfect as an evening snack for kids or as a starter for parties. And it's easy and quick to prepare. It comes out well with barnyard millet (kudiraivali) and foxtail millet (thinai) too.
