Juar jo dhodho-sorghum flatbread is a Sindhi specialty. We usually eat it as breakfast. A big bowl of yogurt and a dollop of white butter goes best with it. However, if you like to go vegan, serve it with sauce. You might as well eat it with pickled onions, tomato or a mint chutney and kale smoothie. This dish is similar to potato pancake. Both jowar ki bhakri and bajre ki roti have been integral flatbreads in Indian kitchen depending on the season.
Nowadays millet and gluten free grains, are used as an alternative to wheat in the West.
However, our Ayurveda has always emphasized on eating variety of flour.
Corn, sorghum, millet and barley are common.
