Looking for Healthy Winter Recipes? Try Saransh Goila's Jowar Jo Dodo

Winters have a way of slowing life down, inviting us into kitchens warmed by family, memory, and the aroma of comfort food. Food influencer Saransh Goila brings that feeling alive as he shares a heartwarming favourite from Poonam ki Rasoi: the traditional Juar Jo Dodo, also known as Jowar ki Roti, paired beautifully with a bowl of wholesome Tidali Dal.

This rustic Sindhi dish isn't just food; it's nostalgia, patience, and the joy of winter cooking served hot on a plate.

A Heritage Dish That Celebrates the Slow Art of Cooking:

Juar Jo Dodo is a dish that demands time, something Saransh admits his mother always reminded him of. Each roti, or “dodo,” must crisp up gently on the tawa, soaking in warmth and ghee until it turns golden and irresistible. “Best things take time,” she would say. And in a world that rushes past, this recipe stands firm as a reminder that slow food is soul food.

Made with jowar flour, this roti brings together seasonal green garlic, spring onion greens, and simple spices, turning everyday ingredients into a winter delicacy. The nuttiness of jowar, the freshness of greens, and the crisp finish make it a perfect partner for dal, pickles, or even homemade white butter.

Ingredients That Warm the Soul:

What makes this recipe shine is its simplicity. Two cups of jowar atta come alive when mixed with green garlic, spring onion greens, red chilli powder, bhuna jeera, salt, and freshly chopped green chillies. A splash of water, added gradually, brings everything together into a semi‑soft dough that rests for 15 minutes.

This rest is essential. It lets the flour hydrate fully, making the dough easier to flatten on the tawa without cracking, especially important for gluten‑free flours like jowar.

A Crisp, Golden Winter Treat:

Once the dough hits the hot tawa, magic begins. A sprinkle of water, a quick cover, and a few minutes of patient cooking help it steam and firm up. Generous ghee basting gives the dodo its signature crisp, golden edges.

Cooked till beautifully brown, it's crushed lightly and served hot, a moment of pure winter joy.

Will You Try it This Winter?

As Saransh Goila shares this family favourite, the invitation is clear: slow down, savour the season, and cook something that warms more than just the body.
