About Pithla Bhakri

Pithla Bhakri Recipe

Pithla Bhakri is a comforting rural Maharashtrian meal of silky besan curry served with hot jowar bhakri.

Why this recipe works

  • Whisk besan with water before adding if you want extra smooth pithla.
  • Garlic and green chilli are key to the rustic flavour.
  • Serve immediately because pithla thickens as it rests.

Serving idea

Serve hot with jowar bhakri, raw onion, thecha and a drizzle of ghee.
