Jowar is a gluten free grain and its an incredible millets, i have been looking for a chance to cook with this grain and finally during my last trip to India i grabbed a packet of broken jowar from an Organic store. Obviously when i picked this organic broken jowar, the first dish came to my mind is Upma. Yes upma is the only dish we can think about when you grab these sort of unique broken grains na. However when i picked 'Wholegrains' as the theme for this week's blogging marathon, i thought of making a different dish from that usual upma. You might have noticed that am running a month of blogging marathon with 4 themes for 4 weeks. After dishing out 6 international breakfast for the first week, i opted for No Onion No Garlic recipes for the second week. And now for the third week, my theme was Wholegrains. After three different dishes with three different wholegrains, i couldnt stop myself to post this incredible sambar bath with broken jowar grains.
I simply prepared this lipsmacking Sambar bath easily without vegetables, however you can add any sort of vegetables to this fantastic dish as you desire. Personally i loved this fantastic healthy sambar bath with papads. This Jowar sambar bath is definitely a healthy dish with fantastic twist to usual rice-dal bath. This super healthy sambar bath takes hardly less than half an hour to get ready as i cooked this dish through pressure cooker. A quick,delicious, comforting and a super satisfying meal to enjoy without any guilt. Served with some spice side dish or else simply with pickle, one can finish this ultimate dish as their meal in a healthier way. You can add any sort of vegetables or else greens to this dish to make them more delicious and different from the usual one.

Replacing rice with cholam is great idea. We were in Pannipuram for 3 years. Cholam saadham is quite popular there. Instead of rice, they use cholam. The sad thing is it is called as poor man's diet. But it is the best diet. Glad the short grains are gaining their popularity back.
ReplyDeleteI have to look for jowar rawa in Indian grocery now. This is a great way to include millets in daily diet -- sambar rice with jowar sounds so flavorful, filling and delicious.
ReplyDeleteOther than dosa, never tried anything with cholam so far, this is such a interesting and healthy recipe, Priya. Looks delicious, will give it a try on sometime.
ReplyDeleteWow ! Excellent recipe ! Tell me Priya can we soak the whole jowar and make Sambar Bhat with it . I have never used the broken variety , and have one pack of whole jowar !
ReplyDeleteA dish that would be really appreciated at my place . Bookmarking !
That is a fantastic idea, Priya. I love to consume cooked millets mixed in sambar as it masks the taste of the millets and is easily accepted by picky eaters at my place. :)
ReplyDeleteA healthy twist to sambar sadham and adding different millets in some tasty dishes like this is very popular nowadays and we don't care about the grains added.. yummy,,,
ReplyDelete@vaishali sabnani Y not either soak them and cook, may be grinding as coarse mix and cook with, what do you think. Am sure both works awesome. Do give a try Vaishali.
