Gujarati Bajri-Methi Na Dhebra



Bajra Methi Dhebra is a super healthy winter specialty from Gujarat made with Bajra and Jowar. They are different types of dhebras like dhoodhi (bottle gourd) dhebra, dhana (coriander) dhebra, Palak (spinach) dhebra. These are made from different vegetables. They can be also made using different flours like jowar (white millet) flour, bajra (pearl millet) flour, makkai (maize flour).


This is a famous Gujarati deep fried snack flavored deliciously with spice, green chillies, ginger, and garlic. Fresh methi leaves and green garlic leaves enhances its flavor more when added. They are generally thick in size. This dhebra can be had at any time during the day, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner.


When we roast the methi Dhebra with ghee, the aroma of methi is spreaded in whole house and I just cannot wait to have a bite of it.
