The goodness of Bajre ka Halwa

Pearl Millet: (Bajra) is estimated to have been domesticated as a food crop around 4000-5000 years ago along the central highlands of the Sahara.

Since then it has found itself being widely distributed in Africa and Asia. It makes perfect sense since Pearl Millet can grow even areas where there is drought , low soil fertility and high temperature.

It contains magnesium,copper, zinc, vitamin E and B-complex. it is also rich in calcium and saturated facts making it a great addition to our regular diet.

The millet grain per se maybe nutritious and healthy. But we all know we don’t want to let go off the taste while keeping the goodness of health.

Pearl millet or Bajra is a great winter super food. The other thing that is super in winters is piping hot halwa.

This tasty recipe for making halwa comes from the Millet Recipes book by Department of Agriculture, Government of Karnataka.
