Metabolic Mechanism

Sorghum (jowar) flour is hand-rolled into flatbread and served with a fragrant curry leaf and mustard seed tempering — a traditional Maharashtrian and Karnataka staple.

Jowar (Sorghum)

A naturally gluten-free whole grain suitable as a wheat substitute, with a fiber and polyphenol profile that compares favorably to refined wheat flour.

Curry Leaves

A South Indian tempering staple traditionally used for both flavor and digestive support.

Mustard Seeds & Turmeric

The tempering (tadka) technique — briefly frying whole spices in hot ghee or oil — develops flavor while using only a small amount of fat.

Rolling Tip

Jowar dough is gluten-free and less elastic than wheat — roll between parchment sheets and cook on a hot tawa for the best texture.
