I used athimadhuram ( Tamil ) , Mulethi ( Hindi ) , Liquorice ( English ) instead of sugar in halwas. My innovative cooking skills were appreciated by many and I won many prizes. That inspired me to take up this venture, said Rajamurugan.
Coming from a family of agriculturists, Rajamurugan completed his masters in Business Administration and was pondering over starting a food processing firm.

Making millets as a wholesome food item is our vision. By using small millets such as thinai (foxtail millet), saamai (little millet), varagu (Kodo), pani varagu (proso millet), kudhiraivaali (barnyard millet), ragi (finger millet), kambu (pearl millet) and solam (jowar), we are now able to cook more than 150 traditional food items. We conceptualised this in 2005, but implemented it only a year before, he said.
When Rajamurugan, a catering graduate, was mulling an alternative for junk food, he hit upon the idea of bringing nutritious small millets into the modern day cooking menu.
Sunduvara Rasam and Kozhi Saru in Kongu and Madurai respectively would be given to women post-delivery, as they cleanse the uterus.

In parts of Madurai and Thanjavur, Ulunthangkali is given to girls who attain puberty and in Kongu region, Karuppatti Pottukkadalai mix is the most preferred.

The protein and iron rich food items will protect girls from becoming anaemic, Rajamurugan said. We must pass on the benefits of traditional food items to future generations. I am in the process of writing a book on these food preparations, he added.

But how much will these food items cost? Less than a pizza, burger or noodles, Rajamurugan quipped.
