Recipe Notes
Chef's Notes
For the best flavour, cook the pithla on low heat while stirring continuously to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture. Serve hot with freshly made jowar bhakri, onion, and a dollop of ghee.
Recipe Tips
Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing Vijaya Red Chilli Powder.
Use warm water while kneading the bhakri dough for a softer texture.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with curd, thecha, or pickle for an authentic Maharashtrian meal.
Storage Instructions
Pithla is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day and reheat with a splash of water before serving. Bhakri is best consumed immediately after cooking.
