I have been eating Amaranth cereal and had no idea that Amaranth is such a super grain with an amazing nutritional profile, then I saw that it is the same as "Rajgira" - thanks for this recipe!!

Hi Jack,
ReplyDeleteGood to know you liked it :) Rajgira is very good for health. Do try and let me know hw it was :)
What exactly is "Rajgira" or Amarnath grain?
ReplyDeleteCould you please elaborate?
The yield of grain amaranth/ rajgira is comparable to rice or maize. The popped grain is mixed with melted jaggery in proper proportion to make iron and energy rich “ladoos,” :-)
