Trivia Tadka

Kambu (bajra) was one of the first millets to be used as food by Indians. In the past, it was a regular part of the Indian diet, mainly due to its high fibre content and easy digestibility. In modern kitchens, however, it is used sparingly and often as a sweet digestive, or as a khichdi dish.

Ingredients

Pearl millet flour (kambu maavu) (1 cup)
Coconut, grated (1 cup)
Green cardamom (hari elaichi) powder (a pinch)
Jaggery (gud) (2 tbsp)
Ghee (2 tsp)

Method

Heat a frying pan and dry-roast the kambu maavu in it till it starts releasing a heady aroma and begins to change colour.
Transfer the maavu to a bowl. Pour in some water and mix well.
Then, put the mixture to steam. Add the grated coconut, sugar , ghee and elaichi powder to the steamed flour.
Mix well and serve.
