Dear Suvai!

About KAMBU/PEARL MILLET/BAJRA

Kambu or pearl millet or Bajra is a healthy grain which is high in protein as compared to other millets. It has potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc and vitamin E and B-complex. It is rich in calcium and iron too!! Helps to decrease the high sugar level for diabetic people.

Now the recipe is following.....

Ingredients:

Kambu [ Pearl millet/Bajra]- 3 cups
whole white black gram-1 cup
Idli rice- 1 cup
fenugreek seeds- 1/4 tsp
salt to taste

Procedure:

Wash and soak the kambu and the rice for 12 hours.
Kambu needs more time to soak so that it can be ground finely.
Soak the black gram with the fenugreek seeds separately.
After 12 hours, grind the black gram to a smooth fluffy batter.
Then grind the kambu and the rice to a smooth batter again.
Mix with enough salt and allow it to ferment for 10 hours.
Steam the idlies as usual.
You will get soft, nutritious and delicious idlies.

NB: I have prepared onion Brinjal kothsu as an accompaniment. Any tomato chutney is also suitable for this!!
