What is Bejar ki Roti? Bejar is a multigrain flour comprising of whole wheat flour, barley flour and gram flour. It is super healthy as it is fibrous. Further, it is rich in protein.

We all know what lassis are; many of us grew up drinking meethi and namkeen lassis made by our mothers during the summers. And we can all agree that we enjoyed them. It refreshed us quickly, and was a welcome break from the sweltering heat. This Gujarati komal drink is a form of buttermilk that is best consumed throughout the summer. The word komal means soft and that's exactly how it tastes.

To make the Komal drink at home today, follow this simple recipe: Ingredients needed: • Coconut milk -½ cup • Fresh curd- ½ cup • Coriander leaves • Salt according to taste • 2 green chillies • 2-3 curry leaves • Pinch of hing • ½ tsp jeera • 2 tsp oil Method: • In an electric blender, combine the coconut milk, curd, green chilies, and coriander leaves and set aside. • Heat some oil on a tawa, then add the jeera seeds, curry leaves, and hing and fry until they sputter. • Mix this tadka with your coconut milk mixture. • Add a touch of salt and combine with ice cubes and blend once more • Chill before serving.
