Bajra Kanji

🇮🇳 Indian

Millets are having their comeback and bajra kanji shows why — nutty, sustaining, and older than memory. 35 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 15 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Buttermilk2 cups
  • Pearl Millet (Bajra)1/2 cup, flour

Optional extras

  • Onion1/2, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slurry the flour in a little water until smooth.

  2. 2

    Simmer with water, stirring, until it thickens and the raw smell cooks off, 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool slightly, then whisk in the buttermilk and salt.

  4. 4

    Drink warm or chilled — both are correct, only the weather differs.

Chef's tip

Hot water and patience — millet dough and batter both punish haste.
