Total Time :

Cuisine : Indian
Servings : 2–3 people

🥕 Ingredients

🌾 The Base

  • ½ cup Bajra flour (Pearl millet flour)

  • 1 cup Fresh curd (yogurt)

  • 4 cups Water (divided)

  • 1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ tsp Black salt (Kala Namak)

  • ½ tsp Cumin seeds (Jeera)

  • ½ tsp Carom seeds (Ajwain)


🧈 For the Topping

  • 1 tsp Ghee (for richness)

  • A pinch of Roasted cumin powder

  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

🍳 Method

1️⃣ Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine bajra flour, salt, black salt, cumin seeds, and ajwain.
Add the curd and whisk thoroughly to form a thick, smooth paste.


2️⃣ Dilute Gradually

Slowly pour in 1 cup of water, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Once smooth, add the remaining 3 cups of water and mix well to achieve a thin, uniform consistency.


3️⃣ Simmer and Thicken

Transfer the mixture to a heavy-bottomed pan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Simmer until the raab thickens noticeably but remains pourable and soup-like.


4️⃣ Garnish and Serve

Pour the hot raab into a traditional clay kulhad or serving bowl.
Drizzle with ghee, sprinkle roasted cumin powder, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Serve warm.


💡 Tips

  • Constant stirring is essential — bajra settles quickly and can burn

  • Control consistency as it cools; add a splash of warm water if needed

  • Best consumed fresh and warm

  • Ideal as a morning or evening winter drink
