The study was conducted into five phase, the first phase included procurement of banana flower, lotus stem, finger millet, refined flour the second phase was include development of cookies the third phase was include sensory evaluation the fourth phase was include packaging and storing the fifth phase was include proximate analysis. Sensory evaluation of the product included procurement of ingredients, development of cookies and the third phase was include sensory evaluation through 9 point hedonic rating test out of three variance (T1, T1, T2) the T2 was most acceptable with the mean value of 19.23±0.70 and proximate analysis of the product out of three variance (T0, T1, T2) the T2 sample had the highest mean value as compare T1 sample, T2 sample had the highest iron mean value i.e 19.23 ± 0.70 and T1 sample had less mean value i.e 17.55 ± 1.25.
