Hurda Party Special

Celebrate the rustic charm of the winter harvest with a Hurda Party Special, a unique Maharashtrian culinary tradition centered around tender, roasted green sorghum (Jowar). This authentic Winter Harvest Feast features "Hurda"—fresh stalks of Jowar picked at the peak of their succulence, pit-roasted over hot coals, and beaten to release the soft, smoky grains. Unlike dried grains, Hurda is prized for its sweet, milky flavor and tender texture. A true Hurda Party is incomplete without its signature accompaniments: fiery garlic-coconut chutney, zesty lemon-peanut salad (Shengdana Koshimbir), and sweet pieces of organic jaggery. Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and nutrient-dense, it is a fiber-rich seasonal delicacy that brings people together in farm-side gatherings. Whether enjoyed with a dollop of fresh butter or paired with spicy Pithla Bhakri, the Hurda Special offers a raw, earthy, and soulful taste of Maharashtra’s vibrant agricultural heritage.
