Organic Bajra Flour
Bajra Atta is made from grounding the grains of pearl millet. It is widely used in African and Indian cuisine. It is available in many colours like white, yellow, and bluish-purple.
In India, Bajra atta is known by many names – Bajri no lot in Gujarati and Kambu in Malayalam and Tamil. Bajre ka atta is a whole-grain food and is thus densely packed with beneficial plant chemicals, protein, carbs, and minerals.
The Bajra grains are small, round, and firm. They do not have any distinct smell. Bajra Atta has a very earthen-sweet smell after it is cooked.
Soil: To make Bajra no Lot, Bajra should be grown first. It can be cultivated on many soil types that have good drainage. It is best grown in black cotton and sandy loamy soil. It can grow in salty and dry soil as well.
Climate: They should be grown in warm areas that have moisture in the air.
Sowing: Bajra can be grown in three seasons –
- Kharif (June to October)
- Summer (March to June)
- Winter (November to February)
The best time to grow Bajra is before the monsoon season starts.
Harvesting: Once it is ready to harvest, the cut stalk can be left in the sun for 4-5 days, or beat the earheads to separate the grains.
Grounding: Once the grains are separated, they should be grounded to make a powder like consistency which is known as Bajra no Lot
Bajra Atta has a limited shelf life as it is a whole grain and releases oil. It is meant to be stored in the fridge and eaten within three months of purchase.
