I have been trying dishes without rice for quite sometime since some of my friends keep complaining that Indian,specially South Indians use rice in almost all their snacks and also their regular meals and they are advised to avoid rice for health reasons....( which I totally disagree and it’s a different topic to write on in my health blog soon.)Anyways ..this is one such recipe, which avoids rice.
It’s been a craze these days for millets and their health benefits all over the web .O e of such wildly know millet is Pearl millet/Bajri/Kambu.Its one among the millets that’s grown in Indian subcontinent since prehistoric times.
According to India today and NDTV it’s rich in Protein,Phosphorus,Magnesium,Iron ,essential vitamins and amino acids which adds to its nutritional, therapeutic value.( that’s yet another topic to be discussed later in my health blog) now let’s stick to the taste buds alone đŸ˜‰
