#healthycookingwithmillets - Bajra Atta (Pearl Millet Flour) is particularly healthy for those with gluten intolerance. It was considered a poor man's diet, commonly found in rural bones. But it is now very graciously been incorporated in our everyday diet for it's health benefits. It can be prepared plain or with spices and condiments added to it. Today I made it in a fusion style by adding chopped Bok Choy greens along with other ingredients. It can be relished with either chutney, pickles or any side dish.
