Methi Bajra poori-Pearl millet is a very healthy form of millet and is commonly used in Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is light grey in colour.

Bajra poori and rotis are preferred in the winter months as bajra is considered to be heat producing.This humble food has been eaten in India since the pre-historic times. It  is mostly consumed in the form of rotis or khichdis.

It is very healthy to use pearl millet as it is gluten free,high in protein,good source of Iron and moderate source of vitamin B1 and bajra poori is a delicious and easy recipe to try with bajra.
