Ponkh (Tender Jowar) Chaat
Ponkh, also known as fresh tender jowar (sorghum), is a traditional delicacy from Gujarat and Maharashtra, consumed during winter. It is a highly nutritious, fiber-rich food harvested during the early stages of jowar growth. Ponkh is typically enjoyed roasted, spiced, or in the form of chaat, and is known for its unique soft texture and nutty taste. It is an excellent choice for weight management and winter wellness due to its high fiber, protein, and essential nutrient content.
