Bajra (Pearl Millet) Fried Rice

#choosetocook - Bajra (Pearl Millet) is a wonderful substitute to rice. So I chose to cook this yummy fried rice made of Bajra and serve something different to my family. You can add in some of your favorite veggies or some boiled and shredded chicken / prawns for a non-veg. version. Relish it just as it is or with any side dish. It makes for a healthy and a wholesome one-pot meal.
