Bajra Methi Pancakes

Seasons can greatly affect our body's metabolism. During this time of the year it gets switched over to slow winter mode. Colder the weather lesser the metabolism rate in our body. Thus from childhood we are taught to eat heat giving food during winters. It keeps up the body functioning in place. 

But while maintaining the warmth in our body we gradually tend to gain weight during winters. It is because we actually consume food as though we have turned on to hibernation. So to remain in good health we must consume good food but to limited extent and exercise a lot. 

Today I shall be sharing with you one such recipe which is apt for winters and is easy breakfast food. It has all the goodness of Bajra, Methi leaves and Jaggery.
