Different types of Dhal adai mix powder with varying proportions of Jamun seed powder (2 %, 4 % and 6 %) were developed along with a control. The organoleptic evaluation of the Dhal adai mix powder was carried out using 9 - Point Hedonic Scale. The data obtained was analyzed statistically. The Colour of products showed significant positive changes at p ≤ 0.05. Organoleptic evaluation of prepared Dhal adai mix powders revealed that sample T2 (4 %) Incorporation scored highest in texture and aroma (6.7 ± 0.34) color (7.2 ± 1.128), taste (7.4 ± 2.03) and overall acceptability (7.1 ± 0.32).
