Pearl Millet

Pearl millet has a high protien and high iron content in addition to all the general millet characteristics (gluten-free, low glycemic index, high fibre, etc). It is well adapted to growing areas characterized by drought, low soil fertility, and high temperature.

Pearl Millet is also called bajra (in Hindi), Sajja (In telugu), Sajje (In Kannada) or Kanbu (In Tamil)

Bajra Roti / ಸಜ್ಜೆ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ / Pearl Millet Flat Bread

Classic Indian Flat bread prepared using Pearl Millet (Bajra / ಸಜ್ಜೆ).  Had a disastrous start as I flooded the atta with water.  Thanks to Mariyam for saving the day…

Bajra Dosa

This  Bajra Dosa (Pearl Millet Dosa) is a brilliant dish to start the day with. The dosa comes out very crispy and tasty. Of course, the face that it has Bajra instead of White rice makes it much healthier.
