Rajgira Ki Puri (Amaranth Puri or Vrat Puri)

Rajgira Ki Puri

Rajgira Ki Puri

Rajgira Ki Puri also called Amaranth Puri. Rajgira Ki Puri is perfect for fasting or any Indian Vrat. Rajgira Ki Puri is also best as a gluten free recipe. Rajgira Ki Puri is most popular during Navaratri fast in North India. This Rajgira Puri can be served with any side dish like vrat ki sabji, aloo ki sabji, sweet potato sabji or kaddu ki sabji etc.… serve Puri with any of these and enjoy your fast ?

Rajgira flour is made from the seeds of the amaranth plant. There are many members of the amaranth family, of which some are grown primarily for the seed. Amaranth flour can be used for making gluten free food or as fasting/ vrat food (in India). The amazing thing about amaranth is how it compares nutritionally to other grains: far more iron, calcium, protein, manganese, fiber, and other phytonutrients than wheat or rice. Amaranth is one of the most protein-rich of any plant-based food, rivaling that of animal-based foods like cheese.

Ingredients:

• 2 cup Rajgira Flour/Amaranth Flour
• 2 Medium Sized Potatoes Boiled
• ½ tsp Green Chili Finely Crushed or Paste
• ¼ tsp Crushed Cumin Seeds
• ¼ tsp Turmeric Powder
