PEARL MILLETS

Pearl Millets, commonly known as Bajra or Bajri, are small whole millet grains with a distinctive earthy, robust flavour. Pearl millet is a traditional cereal grain widely used in Indian and African cuisines, with a particularly strong place in regional Indian cooking.

Pearl millet is especially associated with the cooking of Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat, where it is used in a variety of traditional preparations. The whole grains can be cooked into hearty dishes, while pearl millet can also be ground into flour for flatbreads and other recipes.
