Jowzari

Jowzari is a term used in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, particularly in the Shina language, to refer to a kind of traditional bread. It is typically made from wheat or barley flour, and often cooked on a hot stone or a metal griddle called a tawa. The specific characteristics of Jowzari can vary from village to village and even from household to household, depending on available ingredients and cooking preferences. The bread is a staple food in many rural communities, particularly during the winter months, offering a relatively inexpensive and filling source of sustenance. Jowzari often accompanies local stews and curries.
