Description
Nawab Bajra Flour 1KG is bajra, pearl millet, ground to a greyish flour with a strong earthy taste. It is a winter flour in the places it comes from, eaten with ghee and gur, or with baingan bharta in Rajasthan.
Bajra roti is thicker than a wheat one and cooked slowly so the inside is done before the outside hardens. There is no gluten, so it is patted rather than rolled. In Gujarat the same flour goes into rotla, and in Maharashtra into bhakri, both worked with hot water to make the dough hold.
Why does bajra flour taste bitter sometimes? Because it has aged. Bajra has a lot of oil in the germ and turns faster than any other flour on this shelf, which is why it is traditionally ground fresh. If the pack smells sharp, it is past its best, and no amount of ghee will hide it.
Why is it called a winter flour? Because it is considered warming in Ayurvedic terms and because it is genuinely heavy, filling food that suits cold weather and hard work. There is no rule against eating it in July, but few households do.
Another bajra to compare, the Schani bajri flour, sits next to it, and the flour and atta shelf carries the wheat attas, ravas and besan. Vegetarian. Store it in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, because flour takes up damp and picks up the smell of whatever sits beside it.
