Hehehe…Ok, you forced me to do some reading! Well, white “pearl millet” (”pearled” meaning the outer husk has been mechanically removed) is the variety that is widely available here. Many other varieties are grown across the world (such as “finger/red” millet/ragi). Millet is extremely nutritious, the amino acid balance being very close to complete (high in protein without having to mix with grains or legumes). The only drawback is that some people dislike the bitterness. How’s that?

Shilpa: …see..I knew you would give me more info Pel . Good job…It is your kind of grain with bitterness and nutrients. So when are you buying it?

So, this is made from the white millet that we see more often here in the U.S.? I’ve read this is very nutritious as well, but have so far only mixed the cooked whole grain into baked breads. This looks lovely and easy to make- especially tasty with the shenga chatni pitto!

Shilpa: Are you asking me a question about white millet? I have no idea Pel . You have to tell me the answer also now

Oh I am always so impressed when people make roti or similar. But this sounds very easy.
