Umandawa Habala Pethi (200g) is a traditional Sri Lankan food made from 100% steamed and flattened pearl millet (habala). Naturally gluten-free and mildly nutty in flavor, it is packed with essential nutrients. Rich in dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, and protein, it supports digestion, boosts energy and immunity, and helps regulate blood sugar levels with its low glycemic index. Traditionally valued for its body-cooling properties, it is often used to strengthen organs and support postpartum and Ayurvedic diets.
Perfect for porridge, herbal mixtures, or light meals, Habala Pethi can be soaked in warm water or milk for 10–15 minutes before eating. Enjoy it mixed with coconut, treacle, or honey for a wholesome breakfast, or add it to kola kenda for added nutrition.
