Pearl Millet Dosa  is called  बाजरी (Bajri in Rajasthani, Gujarati and Marathi), ಸಜ್ಜೆ (Sajje in Kannada); கம்பு (Kambu in Tamil); बाजरा (Bajra in Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi) and సజలు (sajjalu in Telugu) and ("Kambam" in Malayalam) and বাজরা ("ba:jra:" in Bengali) wikipedia.Eating bajra provides us with disease fighting phytochemicals that lower cholesterol, antioxidants, plenty of fibre, 
folate, iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, vitamins-E and B-complex, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. It is a gluten free grain. It is noted for its high iron content. This whole grain supports weight loss as the high fiber content leads to a feeling of fullness for a prolonged period of time.
