During winter, people employ various methods to stay warm. Some rely on hot tea, while others prefer hot soup. Amid these solutions, this Rajasthani dish is exceptionally beneficial for keeping the body warm. Moreover, it is replete with nutrients that contribute to overall strength and well-being.
This Rajasthani delicacy is called Bajra ki Rabri, widely prepared in most parts of Rajasthan, particularly in every household in rural areas during winter.
Bajra ki Rabri is a traditional Rajasthani dish, highly beneficial for health, especially during winter. It is made from millet flour and buttermilk or whey. This delicious and nutritious dish is light on the stomach and aids digestion.
Ingredients to make Bajra Rabdi
To make Bajra Rabdi, one will primarily need 1 cup of Bajra flour, 2-3 cups of buttermilk or whey, 2 cups of water, salt to taste, and 1 tablespoon of ghee. While iron and steel utensils suffice, preparing it in a clay pot or vessel enhances its flavour.
Method of making
Mangi Devi, an elderly woman skilled in making Bajra Rabdi, explains the process. Firstly, the millet flour should be dry roasted in a pan over low flame for five to seven minutes. This eliminates the rawness of the flour, releasing a light aroma. Next, one should mix buttermilk and water in a vessel. Then the roasted millet flour should be added to it and mixed thoroughly to avoid lumps.
The mixture should then be placed on low flame to cook. It should be stirred continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. It should be cooked until it thickens. Once cooked, salt should be added to taste and mixed well.
Following this, one should heat ghee in a small pan and add cumin or garlic seasoning. Then the mixture should be poured over the prepared rabri. This completes the preparation of hot and flavourful rabri. This dish is not only traditional and healthy but also incredibly tasty.
Benefits of eating rabri
Ayurvedic doctor Kishan Lal speaks about the health benefits of millet rabri, especially in winter. This traditional dish is packed with nutrition and provides energy to the body. Rich in fibre, millet rabri promotes a healthy digestive system and alleviates constipation. Additionally, it strengthens bones.
Millet rabri provides sustained energy, keeping one feeling refreshed throughout the day. It helps in maintaining body warmth during winter. Furthermore, millet rabri provides relief from diabetes, heart disease, skin and hair problems, and boosts immunity.
