    @krishashok the British actually marketed so well against millet that even all these years later my elders all the way back in a different colony in Africa will never consume millet saying this is "bird food."
    The only time they do consume it is during thaipoosam cavadee when they roast it and mix it with ghee and honey and squeeze it in hand to make a little snack served after the prayers.

      Roti itself is a food designed to be durable and not necessarily to create a tasty food item. It is definitely tasty though.
      Naturally, the body gets more interested towards a food item that it has digested before than a new one for regular consumption because it knows how to digest it and has all the chemistry ready and on call for it's smooth and complete metabolism / digestion.
      We must not forget that today's wheat is GMO. Meaning, the taste of the wheat roti in question is not completly natural.
      I recommend that you do a little study / experiment by eating millets cooked in any method in your diet for atleast a year, which familiarizes millet to your entire body (every cell) and becomes chemically prepared for it in every way to completely metabolize it throughout the body. Then on a particular day, sit and eat millet roti and wheat roti. Even if the wheat roti is tastier, you would definitely lean to consuming millet roti more regularly or as a staple than the wheat one because by this time, your body would know that it's the right choice and you would be able to eat it everyday.

      @@StarnikBayley I would definitely choose millet roti ( I think bajra is the best in taste so far. It is high in fat content.) over wheat roti because I can see the difference the millet roti makes on overall body climate over the wheat one.
      However, we are not supposed to eat any roti everyday as part of the main source of our nutrition or the main meal, as it is a food item suited for travel due to it's long life / durability.
      We are supposed to make rotis crispy, with minimal water content. You should look up lapsi and ship biscuits. Roti is a similar concept. It's supposed to be hydrated at the time of eating.
      Millet rotis, when hydrated with any runny curry or sambar like dish will give many different flavours depending on the grain used. You wouldn't ever miss the many millet rotis for the wheat roti.

    5:01 this small differentiation in addressing people who consume animal protein as "regular" creates a huge impact. ❤
    The problem with calling someone non-vegetarian is that the "Non" in non-vegetarian implies an aberration from vegetarianism. Consequently, posing meat-eating as a taboo and moreover being vegetarian is supreme ( which isn't actually).
    Note: if you trace the diet choices of humans all the way back then every one of us were regular eaters 😅. Therefore being a vegetarian is in fact an aberration from being a regular eater 😂.

    Rice cultivation has significantly contributed to the depletion of groundwater resources in northern India, particularly in states such as Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. The substantial water demands of paddy farming have precipitated a marked decline in the region's water table. Experts caution that if current practices persist, portions of northern India may face desertification by 2050, a situation further exacerbated by unsustainable water usage and climate change. It is imperative to engage people who can enhance the public's understanding of nutrition and facilitate a transition away from consumption patterns that are detrimental to both the nation and the environment. It is concerning that certain segments of the younger generation are not familiar with millets and other foods that promote both health and sustainability, indicating a deficiency in dietary diversity. The prevalent emphasis on foods such as chicken and rice is environmentally unsustainable, necessitating educational and policy measures to address this issue.

    In our native place they always eat jowar, bajra bhakris as staple food daily. But when we go there they insist on making wheat rotis. They consider jowar, bajra as low rank food. Unfortunately, they make kids eat wheat roti instead of jowar, bajra bhakris.
    I would like to add to this excellent video a few points - Bajra is hard to digest and may not suit everyone. Bajra flour can become bitter in taste if stored for long time. If its kept in fridge it stays good for longer time. Adding hot water to the flours help in making bhakris(rotis). Also fresher the flour the better.

    Agreed millets are great however the cost is more than staple diets ,nowadays urban and online have marketed it and the cost is up like anything,whereas many people find normal staple food is going up,and taste also made rice and wheat more than millets.

    We followed millets 100% rule for one and a half years. I starved if didn’t get millets around but I didn’t eat wheat or rice.
    What were the results? I put on a lot of weight, fatigue, scanty periods in 30s, pcod and more problems.
    I got back to normal and body couldn’t digest the food that it was easily digested before.
    I had high vata which was not there before. After resolving it through ayurveda, I was healthy again.
    For those, who try to eat millets full time, I don’t recommend it.

    British colonialism had precisely nothing to do with the consumption of millets, which was commonplace in the 1950s and 1960s, when I was a kid. The green revolution, however, in which IARI scientists introduced high yield strains for rice (such as IR-8) and for wheat, displaced a lot of commonplace cuisines among the poor. I know it's the fashion nowadays to blame the Brits for everything wrong in India, but in this case, the historical evidence of a concerted and malign effort by the authorities (rather than pragmatic considerations of what was available in bulk in non-famine areas) is pretty thin. Other than that, a very informative video! Thanks!

      Whole wheat requires far more processing steps than millet and rice.
      Imagine you are working 9 hour shifts and taking care of two toddlers. You can just put rice in a cooker. Or you could soak millets and then put it in a cooker.
      Wheat, mix and knead, roll it out, fold it, flatten it and then cool it. And you have to do it individually, especially if one person eats more than one roti/pori/paratha. That's a lot of time and effort.
      And if you don't think so, then you are probably the one of the people who forces a woman to do it even if she has a 9 hour per day job herself.
      That is the major issue with whole wheat in several households. Simply not worth the effort for a slight increase in nutrition compared to rice. And millets are healthier anyway.

      ​@@MahiMahi-yu5jo There are several layers of issues in your comment
      1. It's does not explain how millets are healthier than whole wheat at all or how wheat is associated with diabetes as is claimed at 10:00. I wasn't talking about convenience.
      2. It is not a "slight" increase in nutrition. White rice is a refined carb. Refined carbs are associated with an increase of diabetes risk. Opposite of what whole wheat aka whole carbs do.
      3. I'm not sure what the weird accusatory undertones are about. I have kneaded bread and made rotis myself for several months this year. The hard part was kneading after that I just batch cooked chapatis for the day.
      4. The solution to mothers overworked in kitchen isn't(primarily) making their work less taxing. It is having the men/husbands do their fare share in chores, like kneading the dough at least for example.
      5. The inconvenience may not be of relevance in households which have a cook.
