One of the replacement is samai and this samai kozhukattai is just like rice kozhukattai and makes no difference in taste. You can go ahead and try this. I have soaked it and ground to coarse paste. Else it will be very crumbly and difficult to eat.

The hesistation to use millets was one reason that I thought we should be compromising on the taste. So i wanted to explore maximum possibilities to bring out tastier dishes so that it can be adapted everyday!
