Kambu is also known as Pearl Millet and we have talked elaborately about Kambu when we were earlier discussing about Kambu Puttu and Kambu Pakoda.

To further make you aware of Kambu here goes the synopsis of Kambu.

Kambu is the most widely grown Millet crop in the World and it is vastly grown in the Indian Sub continent. Kambu is known as Bajra in Hindi and Pearl Millet in English. 

Kambu has many health benefits to its credit. Kambu is rich in dietary Fiber, Iron and Vitamin B Complex. Kambu also contains vitamins E, B-complex, niacin, thiamine, copper, zinc, folate, magnesium  and riboflavin. As it is non glutenous it has lots of fiber, so it is beneficial in constipation and piles.

Kambu Dosa is a simple and easy diabetic recipe which goes well with almost all side dishes, especially it goes well with Coconut thogayal and Red Chilli Thuvaiyal.
