Pithla is a traditional Maharashtrian recipe that is made with gram flour or as we call it, Besan. The gram flour is cooked along with garlic, green chilies, curry leaves, onions, coriander leaves, and spices. It is mandatory to make in every Maharashtrian household with Bhakri, during Monsoons. Because of its simplicity and delicious taste, it has become popular not only in Maharashtra but all over India.
