Mitho Lolo ~ Sindhi Sweet Flatbread ~ Simple Delicious Food Recipes

Mitho Lolo Sindhi Sweet Flatbread is a thick sweet flatbread from Sindhi made with wheat flour, sugar and ghee. This is also made with jaggery and requires slow fire cooking as the chapati is very thick. Once cooked, it’s soaked in ghee.

This is served as breakfasts by the Sindhis though the trend is fast disappearing. I read about this when Vaishali posted it and she says we can easily call this the sweet version of the Sindhi Koki. Kids will surely love to snack on this.

Apart from this being very delicious to enjoy, Mitho Lolo has lot of significance in Sindhi culture. It is a must to prepare these after a person has recovered from chicken pox. These are also prepared on a festival called Thadri. Thadri is a festival where the Sindhis cook a variety of flatbreads. During the Thadri, no cooking happens in the house so these mitho lolo along with Moong Daal Parathas, few other dry saute dishes, curd dishes, sanna pakoras are made a day prior.

So this sweet flatbread from Sindhi is my choice for M in the A to Z International Street Foods. If you are interested to know what’s M for Street Food, Check my other space.
