As I said in my earlier post " Ridge gourd- Sesame Chutney " can be used for preparing Tasty , Spicy Rotti. Here I have used Raagi (Finger Millet) and Jola (Jowar or Millet) flours and Chutney to prepare the Spicy Rotti.
This Rotti is very tasty to eat at any time of the day, It can be for breakfast, lunch or as evening snack and for dinner too. Since all the spices are in the chutney you can use less chilly or no chilly.
Lets see some benefits of using coconut and Millets in our daily life.
Coconut helps to prevent obesity and good health of the heart. They contain High dietary fiber. Coconut fiber slows down the release of glucose. They help to reduce the sweet cravings and improves the digestion. It is a quick energy boost. In addition. coconut contains No Trans-Fats, is Gluten free, contains Anti bacterial, Antiviral, Antifungal. Coconut helps to aid and support overall immune system functions.
Millets are known for their healthy attributes. They are rich in protein, and amino acids and other vital nutrients that help to build strong immune system and help in body's metabolism. Millet is said to be a healthy alternative when it comes to thinking healthy diet. Grains such as barley, bajra, ragi, jowar come under the millet family and each grain has its own nutritional benefits andsignificance.
