Raabdi or "Raab" as it is commonly known, is a thick gruel prepared using bajre ka atta and curds or buttermilk. Raabdi can be served hot or cold. It is often eaten as a substitute for rice and is served with chaas (buttermilk) or milk. An earthenware pot full of the bajra flour and buttermilk is often left to simmer over a slow flame in the mornings and it is ready to serve around lunch time after it has simmered for several hours. It does not require a lot of attention, so housewives can complete their other household chores while the raabdi is being cooked. In some households, raabdi left over from the previous day is often served with hot bajra rotis for breakfast the following day.
