Organic White Jowar

Jowar is among the healthiest choices you can make for your daily carbohydrate intake. Given a typical balanced diet comprises 55-60% carbohydrates, you can have one or one-and-a-half servings of Jowar twice a day. Jowar is suited for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

• The easiest way to incorporate this millet into your diet is through roti. However, it is best to pair it with other cereals and pulses. For example, you can make multigrain atta by mixing 50% whole wheat with 50% Jowar and other grains like Bajra, Ragi, Soya, etc.
• You can also use this flour to make porridge, which is very healthy for children. Add Jowar with green mung, chana (Bengal gram) dal, sago (Sabudana), etc., to the multigrain atta, and cook it till it reaches the porridge consistency using one-part flour and three parts water.
• If you want to serve it savoury, add jeera (cumin) and salt. For sweet porridge, try Gur (jaggery) and milk instead. Adding crushed almonds will enhance its nutritional value.
• For South Indian dishes like dosas and idlis, you can add Jowar to the usual rice batter in a 2:1 ratio (two parts Jowar flour, one part rice idli batter). You can even make Jowar cupcakes by substituting the refined flour in any cupcake recipe with 50% whole wheat and 50% Jowar flour.
• Jowar is a little denser than whole wheat, and hence the taste may take a little getting used to at first. However, diversifying your food grains is the best way to increase the nutritional quotient of your daily diet.
