   *Jowar is cleaned and coarsely ground in the mill so as to obtain semolina like, gritty flour. It is then passed through a fine sieve to separate the flour, if necessary. The flour can be utilized for making thick chapattis like Maharashtrian ‘bhakri’ or North Indian 'rotla' or making jowar vegetable Adai.
