Abstract: In the present study, three millets (barnyard millet, foxtail millet and finger millet) were used to extract millet milk and also develop product from them. Millet milk chapati spread was made using the millet milk. The residue of millet left after extraction of milk was made into energy bar. Treatment 3 (T₃) of foxtail millet milk received highest score (7.8±0.6) for overall acceptability among all treatments. Similarly, Treatment 2 (T₂) of barnyard millet milk (7.5±0.7) and Treatment 4 (T₄) of finger millet milk received highest score (7.8±0.4) for overall acceptability among all the treatments. Similar results was obtained for treatments of chapati spread. Among energy bars, foxtail millet residue energy bar received highest score (8.6±0.5) for overall acceptability. Cost of 1 L of foxtail millet milk, barnyard millet milk and finger millet milk was calculated to be 26 Rs, 34 Rs and 16 Rs respectively. Similarly, cost of 1 kg of foxtail millet milk chapati spread, barnyard millet milk chapati spread and finger millet milk chapati spread was calculated to be 1270 Rs, 1280 Rs and 1258 Rs respectively. Cost of 1 kg of foxtail millet residue energy bar, barnyard millet residue bar and finger millet residue energy bar was calculated to be 172 Rs, 211 Rs and 122 Rs respectively.
