Kalaburagi Rotti Featured in Mann Ki Baat by PM Modi
Kalaburagi Rotti – A Taste of Tradition and Health
In Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi often encourages Indians to take pride in local traditions and healthy food habits. One such gem from Karnataka is the Kalaburagi Jolad Rotti – made from jowar (sorghum), a nutritious millet.
Soft, thin, and typically served with brinjal curry or chutney, this rotti is not just food—it reflects our roots. Jowar is climate-resilient and gluten-free, aligning with the Prime Minister’s vision during the “International Year of Millets”.
Women in Kalaburagi are turning rotti-making into small businesses, supporting families and promoting millet-based diets. Such local food stories showcase the strength of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
If more people discover and celebrate dishes like Kalaburagi rotti, India’s cultural and nutritional diversity will shine even brighter. Let us take pride in our local flavors and share them with the world.
