Sugar-Free Bajra Pua: A Wholesome and Nutritious Treat
Bajra Pua is a delicious and healthy twist on the traditional Indian sweet pua. Instead of refined flour, it uses bajra (pearl millet) flour. This version is completely sugar-free and naturally sweetened with jaggery, dates, or ripe bananas, making it a nutritious and diabetic-friendly option.
The batter is prepared using bajra flour, a little whole wheat flour, and milk or yogurt for a soft texture. Cardamom, fennel seeds, and grated coconut flavor add a rich aroma and depth of taste. Jaggery syrup or mashed ripe bananas provide natural sweetness.
The pua is then deep-fried in ghee until golden and crisp on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy inside. These wholesome bajra puas are tasty and packed with fiber, iron, and essential nutrients, making them a great option for festivals, winter treats, or a healthy snack.
