Sorghum is a healthy millet that is good in minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorus and iron. Being rich in antioxidants, its good for the heart too and is diabetic friendly. Jowar is also an excellent gluten free flour.
Jowar roti has a nice soft texture and even on cooling do not become hard or chewy. On my visits to some parts of Maharashtra, we were served jowar roti in a thali with pitla (a thick but moist gram flour paste spiced dish) and green chili thecha (coarse green chili and garlic chutney). It can also be served with zunka (a dry version of pitla).
