What is Mitho Lolo

Sindhi community make Mitho Lolo/ Mithi Maani/Mitho Loli during the Shrawan month of festivities like Thadri/ Satayein/Satam festival. However,people enjoy its variations throughout the year.

Mitho Lolo/Mithi Maani/Mithi Loli is a Sindhi Sweet Flatbread . It comprises of whole wheat flour, jaggery and or sugar and generous amount of ghee. Some use only sugar; others use only jaggery. Here I have used a combination of sugar and jaggery..  In the olden days, people made Mitho Lolo on Sigri but with changing times now they make stove tops or induction burners.

Mitho Lolo/ Mithi Maani/Mitho Loli is made a day ahead and consumed on the day of Thadri /Satain. For making Lolas, it takes a lot of patience. These are quite heavy on the stomach. Hence, some prefer to use oil instead of ghee.

Ingredients
