Siddhi: Saw this in Mumbai… green jowar and green wheat.. .wheat I saw for the first time…
Abha: Green jowar is called Ponkh and is eaten like bhel! A really delicious snack that welcomes the winter!
Tanya: I’ve heard of this! Never seen it in Bangalore
Karishma: I agree… is this available in Bangalore?
Devayani: Yes, Millet Amma has ponkh. I’ve been ordering from them the last couple of years now and it is good.
Asha: Farmizen has it, when in season.
Siddhi: Yeah, in Marathi we call it hurda… and many places in Maharashtra have hurda parties.
Abha: Can get it at Farmizen. Make it with finely chopped green chillies, coriander, lemon, salt and sev 🙂 Forgot to mention, we pair this with hot jalebis and fresh saunf.
Siddhi: Wow! This is new!
Devayani: We have it roasted with peanut chutney.
