Bajra Flour Recipe | Kambu Maavu Recipe
Bajra Flour is also called as Kambu Maavu in Tamil, is one of the healthy flour that I always like to stock in my kitchen. It is made using pearl millet which is very nutritious and has nice earthy flavor. This flour can be used for making rotis, dosas and many other healthy dishes.
Servings3 cups
Ingredients
- ¼ kg whole kambu / pearl millet
Instructions
- Dry roast kambu till slightly golden.
- Roast in low flame it may take at least 7-10 minutes.
- Cool down then transfer to mixer jar.
- Powder it.
- Roast it again for 3-5 minutes.
- Cool down then store.
- Serve Kambu Maavu hot / warm!
Notes
- Roasting – Always roast in low flame. If you roast in high flame, it will burn and give bitter taste.
- Cooling before grinding – Let the roasted millet cool completely before grinding or else the flour may turn sticky and lumpy.
- Grinding texture – When you grind in mixie, the flour will be little coarse. It is normal and fine for most recipes.
- Second roasting – I roast again for few minutes after grinding. It removes extra moisture and gives nice smell.
- Storage – Store in clean and dry jar. I keep it outside if using soon or in fridge for longer time.
