Peas Bajra Roti / Diet Friendly Recipes - 8 / #100dietrecipes

My today's diet friendly recipe is a delicious and tasty roti prepared using bajra flour and green peas. Bajra, which is called Pearl millet is good for diabetics as it controls blood sugar level and also helps in lowering the cholesterol. It also supports weight loss because of its high fiber content.
