This is a delicious poori from the state of Rajasthan, India. This poori is made with pearl millet/bajra flour with fresh methi/fenugreek leaves, and flavored with spices.
Bajra is very healthy with a wonderful nutritious profile. The earthy taste is amazing and it perfectly pairs with fenugreek/methi leaves. The methi leaves have wonderful medicinal properties and is a great addition to regulate blood glucose levels. Also, this poori is easy to make.
This poori can be served dal or any curry. I personally love with dal and yogurt. Yogurt and pickle is an amazing combo for this poori. Millets are very healthy and whether it is Samai Idli, Pearl Millet Banana Muffins, Bajra and Thinai Kozhukattai or Barnyard Millet Upma Kozhukattai, Millet Pongal or Barnyard Millet Payasam there are wide variations to make healthy and nutritious food. This Pearl Millet Okara tikki is also a tasty snack or appetizer.
