Rajgira flour for Navratri

The festival of Navratri is near, and people keep fast during this time. Rajgira flour is especially popular during fasting days. This flour is easily available in the market, but there is no comparison to the purity and aroma of home-made flour. People who want to avoid adulterated things often avoid market bought flour. However, making Rajgira flour at home is not only economical, but one can also rely on its purity. Let us know how to make it and store it safely.

Method of making Rajgira flour

– First of all, take 2 cups of Rajgira seeds in a plate and clean them well.

Then, put these seeds in a non-stick pan and fry on medium flame for 5 to 7 minutes.

– Take out the roasted seeds in a plate and keep them to cool.

When the seeds cool down, put them in the mixer and grind them intermittently.

– Sieve the flour through a fine sieve, so that the powder gets separated.

– Grind the remaining coarse pieces again.

Ways to store Rajgira flour

Rajgira flour contains natural oil, due to which it can spoil quickly. Therefore, some precautions should be taken to keep it safe.

– Always keep flour in a dry and airtight glass container.

– If you have made more dough, keep it in the refrigerator. This will keep the flour fresh for 2-3 months.

– Always use a dry spoon to scoop out the dough, as even a little moisture can cause mold.

Apart from this, putting a bay leaf in the box prevents the fear of insects.
