Nandini Introduces Idli-Dosa Batter with Added Whey Protein

Nandini, a Karnataka-based brand under the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), has launched a ready-to-cook idli-dosa batter enriched with 5 percent whey protein. The initiative aims to cater to urban consumers seeking convenient and nutritionally balanced meal options. The new product was unveiled on Wednesday by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

In a statement, KMF highlighted the growing demand for quick meal solutions among urban residents due to busy schedules. "Therefore, we decided to offer a superior quality, healthy Nandini idli-dosa batter, blended with 5 per cent whey protein, at an affordable price," the statement read.

The batter will be available in two pack sizes—450 grams priced at Rs 40 and 900 grams priced at Rs 80. Initially, it will be sold through milk parlours in Bengaluru. KMF also indicated plans to evaluate consumer response in Bengaluru before expanding the product to other cities across Karnataka.
