ponk bhel is a tender jowar bhel and called sorghum bhel in English.
ponk bhel is a regional and seasonal speciality, made with a Gujarati delicacy called ‘ponk’. It is basically a savoury snack which is commonly eaten in Indian winters.
During a brief period in the winter months, the jowar or white millet grain is very tender and juicy. At this stage, it is called ponk and is the best time to make hurda bhel. These tender seeds are harvested and roasted or cooked in other ways. Generally, in the villages, the ponk is picked from the fields and cooked then and there.
Hurda and tender jowar are the other names for ponk. Ponk is super nutritive and healthy and also makes an excellent gluten free cereal.
