One Pot Meal – Lasooni Bajra Roti Churma

You may have travelled all across the world trying all sorts of cuisines, but when you need your comfort food, that’s when you realise that there’s nothing quite like Indian food. Don’t you agree? Indian food has a few distinct characteristics that make it ‘truly desi‘; – the masala, the use of ghee and the use of grains that are local to us. Like this one pot meal…

One of the many resolutions, we have for 2021, is to opt for healthier food choices as a family. Eat local, eat seasonal has always been my family’s mantra and I am happy I am teaching my kids the value of foods, the importance of grandmom’s recipes, and why we must stay connected to our roots!

Today we are sharing a special recipe that is made with bajra. Bajra or Pearl Millet tops the warming chart and is an essential part of the winter diet. It has a lot of health benefits which make it an ideal addition to our Indian meal plan.

• Increases blood circulation
• Rich in magnesium
• Has fibre that helps reduce LDL
• Excellent source of iron

The addition of ghee and green garlic makes it super healthy. Green Garlic is an immunity booster while Ghee is rich in Vitamin A and completely free of harmful trans-fats. 

Our recipe is made with just 3 ingredients. It is kid-friendly, quick, easy to make, and is the perfect detox recipe for a lazy afternoon! This recipe is so simple to make that even your little one can make this wholesome meal. It tastes yum on its own or you can serve it with urad dal or undhiya or pickle
