Provenance

A staple in every Chitpawan Brahmin home, Horsegram Flour also gets the tag of the poor man’s superfood for its stellar nutritional content and popularity across rural India. In Konkan, vegetarians turn to legumes and pulses for their protein intake. They sprout kuleeth to make usal (stir-fried horsegram), use the whole gram for saar (soup) and hand-roll the flour into shengole (pasta in broth).
