ABOUT Spinach Horsegram Pithale RECIPE

Pithale is a popular Maharashtrian recipe prepared using besan flour, which is traditional eaten with bhakri. I have used the same recipe and made it more healthy by replacing besan with horse gram powder. Horse gram has lots of nutritious benefits and importantly, it helps to reduce weight.

Ingredients Serving: 2

1 tomato, finely chopped
2 Green Chillies, chopped
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 cup spinach, finely chopped
