It is a unique variation of the traditional dhokla, replacing rice and chickpea flour with Bajra flour, making it not only gluten-free but also packed with fiber and essential nutrients.

Bajra is a highly nutritious and versatile grain that has been a staple food for centuries, especially in regions like Rajasthan, where it grows well despite the harsh, arid climate.

Bajra, one of the oldest cultivated grains, is rich in several vital nutrients, making it a valuable addition to any diet. It is an excellent source of fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate bowel movements. The high fiber content also contributes to lowering cholesterol levels and managing blood sugar, making it an ideal choice for those managing diabetes.

Bajra is rich in iron, which helps prevent anemia, and provides a good amount of calcium, crucial for strong bones. It also contains magnesium, which supports heart health, muscle function, and the nervous system.

Being naturally gluten-free, Bajra is an excellent alternative for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. It is low in fat and high in protein, making it a healthy and filling substitute for wheat and rice.
