Bajra grows abundantly in large parts of arid Rajasthan, especially in the areas around Jodhpur and Dungarpur i.e. Western Rajasthan. Bajra rotis and khichdi are therefore more popular in these areas. Bajra rotis are preferred in the winter months as bajra is considered to be heat producing. I have added a little extra flavour to the rotis by the addition of potatoes and spices. You can enjoy these rotis just by themselves smeared with ghee and accompanied with sakhar (i.e. unrefined sugar).
