Description

Masala Bajra ki Roti is a nourishing, gluten-free Indian flatbread made with pearl millet flour and fresh aromatics like ginger, garlic, onion, green chilli, and coriander. This roti is rich in fibre, plant protein, and gut-friendly compounds, making it an excellent choice for blood sugar balance, digestion, and sustained energy. Bajra is naturally rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, and when combined with anti-inflammatory spices and herbs, this roti becomes both comforting and deeply nourishing. It pairs beautifully with curd, sabzi, or dal for a wholesome meal.

Nutritional Benefits

  2. Green Chilli: Contains capsaicin and vitamin C — supports metabolism and antioxidant defence.
  3. Ginger & Garlic: Powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that support digestion, immunity, and gut health.
