    You can find millet or sorghum flour from any indian grocery stores, or try your local natural food stores, or your local supermarket. depending where you live.
    You can also find online at Bobsredmill.com, Millet flour, or sorghum flour both will work in this recipe.
    if you cant find it is not a must really, you can add more plain flour instead.
    I hope this helps let me know how you get on.
