From fiery Peri Peri to refreshing Spinach, these millet-based chilla mixes promise quick cooking, balanced nutrition, and great taste. But could they keep up with real-life needs — busy mornings, 4 PM cravings, and a family’s hunger pangs?
Welcome to The Ultimate Chilla-Off – Nutrition Edition.

The Bigger Picture: Indian Diet, Protein Gap & Millet Snacks
India is among the most protein-deficient countries — an ironic fact, given that we have dals, pulses, and millets in abundance. The truth? Busy lifestyles often result in skipped meals or “light snacks” (such as biscuits, namkeen, or instant noodles), which offer almost zero protein and zero fibre.
Natible fixes that without asking you to eat quinoa salads or smoothie bowls.
You stay desi, you stay nourished.
Final Thoughts: Can You Really Chill-a Every Day?
Short answer: YES.
These weren’t just easy to make, they were genuinely nourishing and filling for the whole day. Whether you’re trying to up your protein intake with the help of high-protein snacks, boost fibre with probiotics, or just reduce dependency on maida and rice flour, Natible’s Chilla Mixes are a solid answer.
