About
A delightful combination of wholesome, gluten-free Jowar Roti paired with the tangy goodness of Raw Mango Pithla, this traditional Maharashtrian dish is both nourishing and bursting with flavour. Jowar (sorghum) is a powerhouse grain, known for its high fibre content, essential minerals, and ability to provide long-lasting energy. The Raw Mango Pithla, prepared with fresh raw mangoes, is a tangy and mildly spiced dish made from besan (gram flour), which adds a smooth, comforting texture. Together, these two components create a delicious, healthy meal that is perfect for any time of the day.
