Jowar is also known as sorghum (Sorghum
vulgare), great millet, kaffir corn, guinea corn. Sorghum or Jowar roti is one of the
traditional and well know dish to almost everyone. This is a excellent gluten free diet and has wonderful
health benefits. The recipe which I am
posting today is seasoning the Jowar, which is savory version and also the
sweet version. My mom used

childhood days which is also very healthy and tasty. Since long time I wanted to post this. Here is my childhood
