Abstract: Fortified food products are helpful to fight malnutrition. Local produce cost less and had a socio-cultural acceptance amongst population. On the basis of the collected data about the food habits, meal pattern and food type consumed, nutritional status of the target group was analyzed using standardized proximate principle table of the Indian Council of Medical Research and compared with the recommended dietary allowance for the target group. On the basis of the above comparison, nutritional deficiency of the respondents was assessed and need based supplementary food products were developed utilizing the locally available farm produce, which supplemented the required nutrients to the target group at affordable prices. Shelf life of fortified laddu was 21 days where as shelf life of fortified mathari was 31 days.
