Zunka
Jhunka or Zunka is a gram flour porridge or a gram flour curry, similar to polenta. It is a traditional Indian dish prepared in Maharashtra, North Karnataka, and Goa. It is also known by the name of pithla or pithle. When served with bhakri, the dish is referred to as jhunka bhakar or pithla bhakri. Pithle is also known as chun in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. Jhunka with bhakar is considered the quintessential peasant fare of Maharashtra. It is accompanied by kharda or thecha. In recent times, pithla bhakri has become an inseparable part of treks to mountain forts such as Sinhagad. Zunka/pithla is considered a nutritious food because of its balanced content of fiber, protein, carbohydrates and potassium.
