Baked Jowar Karanji is a healthier variation of the traditional Maharashtrian festive sweet. Unlike classic karanji made with maida, sugar, and deep frying in ghee, this version uses jowar flour, dates, stevia, and baking to create a lighter alternative. Filled with roasted nuts and flavored with cardamom, nutmeg, and saffron, it offers traditional taste with more mindful ingredient choices. When enjoyed in moderation, it can fit into a balanced lifestyle.
