Soup is said to be as old as the history of cooking. The word soup comes from French word 'Soupe' . Piping hot soups are heart warming, cozy and healthy and perfect in cold and rainy days.
Jowar is a grass species which is cultivated for its grain and scientific name of Jowar is Sorghum bicolour which belongs to the family Poaceae. Jowar is also known as durra, jowari, jonna, cholam, white millet, sorghum etc. This fiber rich millet is cultivated in India and globally - Australia, Africa, Asia and Central America. Jowar is native to Africa and was a part of regular diet across the globe for more than 5000 years. Jowar is loaded with protein, carbohydrates, dietary fibers which promotes growth. It is a good source of calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and sodium. It also contains vitamins thiamine, niacin, folate and riboflavin which are known to improve over all health. This millet is ideal for weight watcher and helps to regulates diabetes. Jowar is gluten free millet and that's why it is a healthier alternative for Maida (all purpose flour). Today, I have prepared Jowar soup along with vegetables.
