What Does “Desi Ghoti” Mean? Hand-Pounded Chilli Explained
If you have seen “desi ghoti” on a jar, here is what it means in plain words.
Ghoti means pounded by hand
In Urdu and Punjabi kitchens, a dori danda is the traditional mortar and pestle. To make desi ghoti mirch, the red chilli is pounded by hand in the dori danda instead of being only ground in a machine. The word “ghoti” or “ghuti hui” simply means pounded.
