Jowar bhakri and baingan bharta are both heart-warming dishes from Maharashtra that bring together the earthy goodness of millets and the smoky flavour of fire-roasted eggplant. They were once a humble farmer's meal, but today this traditional duo has become a favourite among those who prioritise health, thanks to its gluten-free, low-oil, and nutrient-dense profile.
