Jowar is an ancient grain and one of the top 5 cereals in the world. It has many health benefits. Jowar flour is a complex carb and will be absorbed slowly in the blood stream and not cause a spike in insulin. Being high in Fibre , Jowar reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the effects of good cholesterol (HDL)
Similarly, bajra is also a super food and is gluten-free. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a Vegetarian, include bajra in your diet.
Bajra jowar garlic roti is easy to make. We have made it by combining both the millet flours. Then added garlic paste, you can also add freshly pounded garlic. Garlic will gives a unique flavor to the roti, as both the flours are bland. Add green chilli paste and sesame seed. Sesame seed would give a nutty taste to the roti and also a nutty aroma. Mix all the ingredients and knead into a soft dough using warm water. Using warm water would help in making soft Jowar bajra garlic roti. Divide and roll into a roti using your hand or a rolling pin. Cook bajra jowar lehsun roti on a non stick tava and then on an open flame until it puffs up or brown stops appear on both sides. And lastly smear with ghee.
jowar bajra garlic roti can be made for any meal of the day!! I usually make it for breakfast and dinner with a healthy sabzi. My father in law is a diabetic and i usally make it for him as jowar and bajra both the flours are good for diabetics.

Jowar Bajra Garlic Roti – Iron Boosting
-
Jowar Bajra Garlic Roti – Iron Boosting Indian Bread. Jowar flour, bajra flour and sesame seeds are 3 ingredients which increase the iron levels of these rotis. Very simple and made with minimal ingredients this Jowar Bajra Garlic Roti pairs well with any sabzi of your choice. Good levels of iron in the body ensure proper supply of oxygen and nutrients to the body. This will, in turn, ensure that fatigue does not set in and have an increased concentration level at work too. 2 of these rotis will give 2.2 mg of iron, which is enough to fulfill 10% of your day’s iron requirement. Ghee smeared on top is a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, Vitamin E and K … all of which are antioxidants and work towards a glowing wrinkle-free skin. Ghee is also known to trim waistline due to the presence of MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) in them. Garlic though can be avoided who don’t enjoy its strong flavour and aroma, but it otherwise helps to strengthen your immune system and maintain blood pressure and heart health. Enjoy them off the tava to relish its true flavors.

I do love this roti as it''s very healthy for people having thyroid but I find it very difficult to roll it as it breaks very often.kindly tell me any way to avoid breaking.
This roti with a mix of jowar and bajra flours is very healthy...addition of garlic and chilli paste really enhances the flavor...the sesame seeds also gives a nice nutty flavor...tastes too good with a smearing of ghee.
