Pithla is a traditional dish from the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is made primarily from gram flour (besan) and is often cooked with spices, onions, and green chilies. Pithla has a thick, smooth consistency and is typically served with rice or bhakri, a type of unleavened flatbread. This dish is popular for its simplicity and nutritional value, making it a staple in many households. Pithla is often enjoyed with a side of thecha, a spicy chutney made from green chilies and garlic, enhancing its flavor and appeal.
