A warm, nourishing pearl millet porridge that soothes digestion and keeps the body warm during winter.
Prep. : 5 minutes
Cook. : 10–12 minutes
Total Time :
15–17 minutes
Cuisine : Indian
Servings : 2–3 people
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)
1 tsp Ghee (for richness)
A pinch of Roasted cumin powder
Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
