Raab is a warm health drink made from pearl millet flour also known as bajra that is infused with ginger and ajwain, most often prepared and served to strengthen the immune system of a new mother or to someone who is low on energy or has a congested chest. You can also serve it cold during summers.

Having said that, Raab Recipe (Immunity Building Home Remedy Made from Millet Flour) is also a perfect summer/winter drink that helps strengthen the immune system and keeps you full. Traditionally, millet flour/bajra is used in making this drink. If you have fresh millet flour available readily and it's fresh I suggest you use that in the same quantity as whole wheat flour to make this Raab recipe.

Did you know: One of the most commonly consumed grains in India, bajra is often referred to as “poor man’s staple”. This powerhouse of a grain has multiple health benefits. Mainly made of starch, and mostly insoluble fibres. This makes it a great long-acting source of energy and takes longer time to break.

Therefore you feel fuller, for longer. It is also a storehouse of amino acids essential in production of proteins.The amino acids are readily available and therefore easier to digest than in wheat, for example. The niacin present in bajra also helps in lowering cholesterol and keeping heart disease in check.

Serve Raab as a side dish along with Rajasthani Gatte Ki Sabzi, Phulka and Mirchi Lahsun Ka Chunda for a weekday meal.
