Bajra Carrot Cake
There are many types of millet available to us and used as foods by us humans. A good source of gluten-free nutrients, vitamins, minerals millet provides energy and can boost health.
One of the millets is Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is known as bajra in India. The other names are Kambu in Tamil, Kambam in Malayalam, Bajri in Rajasthani, Gujarati and Marathi, Sajje/ kambu in Kannada, Bajra in Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi and sajjalu in Telugu.
Pearl Millet can be used to make Khichidi, bhakri also known as roti. This is where the usage of pearl millet stopped for me. But with hubby having health issues we (read me) have taken a decision to include millets for a healthier lifestyle.
I asked my blogging buddies at Desi Bloggers Connect and I had an avalanche of recipes. Here are some of them for the time being. WIll share more as I go down my list …
We have
These are a few that I am sharing this post. Like I said I will be sharing more later in the month.
Being diabetic does not mean that you have to stop enjoying food or sweets. Include them in your food but in moderation.
I have adapted the recipe from here.
Bajra Carrot Cake
I made this Bajra Carrot Cake and since hubby was to be admitted to hospital I put this cake in the fridge and forgot about it. Even the girls were not too interested in anything in the fridge so this cake lived in the fridge for about 6-7 days before I rescued it, clicked it and served it.
It was a bit dry but then that must be because it was not covered in the fridge. The amount of sugar is okay if you are going to frost the cake since I did not frost it I thought a little more sugar about 1/4 cup more is acceptable.
Also thought I have included the cinnamon powder and ginger in the recipe I have not used them.
