Recipe Notes

Tips :

√ Per my experience, adding warm water instead of cold, prevents formation of lumps and helps the Bajra rawa to become fluffy while retaining the granular texture.

√ You can also prepare Millet rawa at home by grinding whole Bajra and then store it after dry roasting and cooling it. Helps to extend shelf life of the rawa and keeps bugs/ worms at bay.

√ Always dry roast the rawa before preparing the dish, helps to speed up the cooking process and also enhances the flavors of the ingredient.
