Millet & Rava Rotti

Millet/Jovar/Mekke Jola is one of the good and best gluten free food grain. It is one of the healthy grain which is loaded with healthy minerals and vitamins. I use it for making roti, dosa, vada and even with wheat while preparing chapatis.

Here is one such try which I have used this Jola/Millet and Rava/Semolina and prepared Rotti which has turner out very nice and yummy. It is really nice to have a little change or twist while preparing dishes. I am sure you also will like the idea and prepare this rotti and enjoy.
As I said, I have used millet flour, rava and other simple ingredients and a little curd. Rotti was just yummy and you also will surely say "Wow ".
Lets see some benefits of eating curd in our diet.
Curd has a number of health and nutritional benefits. Eating curd helps our body system stay cool, improves our digestive system and helps get rid of stomach problems. It contain high calcium and protein and they are good for ladies who feed babies. It works as an energy booster and is a good antioxidant. Very good for hair and skin. It is a good stress buster. It helps to increase immunity and the bones to be strong.
There is onion or garlic used in this recipe.
