Keep anaemic at bay with this super-tasty and satiating Bajra Roti in Kadhi. This delicious recipe features sumptuous bajra rotis suspended in a tongue-tickling and easy-to-cook kadhi. Bajra is rich in iron, and very effective in keeping up your haemoglobin levels.
That makes this a wonderful recipe for pregnant women. When served with khichdi, the Bajra Roti in Kadhi transforms into a complete meal. The kadhi gets very thick after adding the bajra rotis, so make sure you add them just before serving.
