Okay so this somehow sounds boring… Bajra Papad??  Eeeuw… But no.. They taste really good.. And specially with the recipe that I’m going to provide here.  Yes, since this is a novel recipe and I myself couldn’t find the recipe online (an authentic one that worked well), I’ll be attaching the recipe without which explaining the science behind it wouldn’t be given justice.  So, bajra Papad Is made up of bajra flour and I have also added some rice flour to it for better consistency and taste.  Recipe:  Preparation Time: 5mins  Cooking Time: 5-6mins  Post cooking Time: 10-15mins  Drying Time: 4-5hrs (sun drying) Yield: 50g (No. Of Papad depends on the size)  With my size it yielded 15-20 papads.  Ingredients: 1+ 1/2cup (300ml)  water  1/2 cup (100ml/60g) bajra (pearl millet)  flour  1/2 cup (100ml/59~60g) rice flour  5g Ginger – chilli paste (3:2) 1/2tsp salt(to taste)  1tsp whole jeera (cumin seeds)  1tsp ajwain (carom seeds)  1tsp sodium bicarbonate  Method:  1. Boil

And how many of us follow the web for all of these tips? EVERYONE!! The new trend involves some random celebrity losing weight and giving you their diet plans and we, like blind, follow them. Why? Because we can see the results! It is very important to understand that short term results never last and that what is really beneficial
