Jhunka is dried form of pithla .its basically a side dish eaten with bhakari .Junka is a dish prepared in North Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Pithla is watery in consistency whereas jhunka is dry .
Its chief ingredient, gram flour (besan) & onions. It is then sauteed in oil with other ingredients and served with roti or more traditionally with Jolada rotti / Bhakri.
Onion (kanda) can be replaced with spring onion, methi or green capsicum to make jhunka
The dish is also referred to as Jhunka bhakar.
Pls note this recipe needs more oil for that perfect taste .Best combo with jhunka is jowar bajari bhakri & green mirchi thecha or red mirchi thecha.
