Notes :

• I have used multi millet flour made with finger millet, little millet, Kodo millet, pearl millet and nuts
• If the mixture is too thick after adding flour, add a few tbsp of milk.
• Use overripe banana for the best results.
• For small babies, finely chop the nuts or powder them to avoid choking.
• Don't over mix after adding the dry ingredients, fold them for 10-15 seconds.
• This millet banana cake stays well for four days at room temperature and keeps good for a week if stored in the refrigerator.
• You could use any nuts of your choice or even chocolate chips.
• Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cake.
