This present study is an attempt to made traditional products fortified with poppy seeds like Besan papadi and Potato papad which are beneficial for heath besides this they also introduces our traditional foods. The products were standardized and served as control (T0). Three treatments were given as T1 T2 and T3 at level of 5, 10 and 15 percent for development of Potato papad and besan papadi.
