Millet Flour; Indian Millet Flour

Several kinds of millet related to the grass Panicum miliaceum are grown in the Subcontinent and used for making flour for bread. Among them is the grain known in Hindi as bajra, which is used for making stove-top breads in the desert regions of northwest India (parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat) and in Pakistan. Bajra is sold in South Asian groceries. Store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh; if it tastes bitter, it has fermented and should be discarded.
