What Is This Millet?

A hearty millet known for its distinctive earthy flavour

Pearl Millet, widely known as Bajra, is a traditional millet cultivated across dry regions of India. It is also known as Kambu in parts of South India. Pearl Millet may be sold as whole grain, flour, flakes or a prepared mix, and each form requires its own cooking method.

Pearl Millet is used in regional dishes ranging from bajra roti and porridge to dosa, puttu and cooked-grain preparations. Its robust flavour and preparation method vary according to whether whole grain or flour is used.

Pearl Millet FAQs

Common questions

Yes. Bajra is the widely used Hindi and trade name for Pearl Millet

Kambu (കമ്പ്) may be used locally for Pearl Millet. Regional usage varies, so have the Malayalam name reviewed and confirm the product using its label.

Pearl Millet generally has a distinctive earthy and nutty flavour. Its taste and texture vary between whole-grain, flour and prepared-mix recipes.

Both forms are available. Bajra flour is commonly used for roti, porridge, dosa and other preparations, while whole grain requires its own rinsing and cooking method.

Not in every recipe. The flours behave differently, so use a recipe developed for Bajra or a tested blend rather than making an automatic one-to-one substitution.

Pearl Millet is currently classified as Cenchrus americanus and is also widely referenced by the older name Pennisetum glaucum. Verify the preferred terminology before publication.

Keep it tightly sealed in a clean, dry container away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Follow the storage instructions and best-before date printed on the pack.
