Typically, these dodas or flatbread are prepared using fresh garlic, pounded with some green chilies, are flattened using the palm and cooked until nice and crispy. These dodas can be served as breakfast with some plain yogurt, pickle, or jam. Alternatively, these dodas make a great main course with some sides as well. The classic combination of Jowar Jo Dodo and Tidali dal (Three lentils curry) is a great meal combo.
