Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
In a bowl combine bajra flour, a pinch of salt and warm water; knead into a soft dough and rest 5 minutes.
- 2
Divide dough into 2 equal balls, roll each into a 6‑inch roti (or pat by hand) and cook on a hot tawa with a few drops of oil until golden on both sides.
- 3
Heat olive oil in a non‑stick pan, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
- 4
Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- 5
Stir in ginger‑garlic paste, green chili (if using), and tomato; cook for 2 minutes.
- 6
Mix in turmeric, red chili powder (optional), salt and black pepper.
- 7
Beat the eggs, pour into the pan and scramble gently, cooking until just set.
- 8
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately with the hot bajra roti.
*Pro Tips
- 1
Use minimal oil to keep the dish low‑fat.
- 2
Serve the roti fresh; bajra has a low glycemic index but becomes harder when cooled.
- 3
Add a side of cucumber‑mint salad for extra fiber and crunch.
Why It's Diabetic-Friendly
Bajra (pearl millet) is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index, helping control post‑meal blood sugar. Eggs provide high‑quality protein and healthy fats that improve satiety without spiking glucose. Using olive oil and limiting added salt keeps the dish heart‑healthy for diabetics.
