Sorry to Break your heart,
But Maharana NEVER ATE Grass Rotis, the whole episode of Rani Ajabde Pawar preparing Grass Rotis & a cat snatching the loaf from her daughter's hand is a later date creation.
Truth is Maharana NEVER had a Daughter.

The story finds No mention in any historical record until Col Tod wrote about it, even in that record he doesn't mention it as a Fact as there was no source of the info, but as an Annal (ΰ€ΰ€₯ΰ€Ύ). The account never found any record in Amar kavya Vanshavali, Raj Ratnakar or any Khyat.
The truth is, Maharana was never in such a deplorable state to the extent of eating Grass Rotis.
At any time he ruled at least 10,000 SQ KMS of Mewar, on which Akbar could never hold his sway.

People promoting such myths forget that Mewar was also a centre of copper production at Mines in Ahad & Zinc production at Zawar. In fact, Zinc was extracted in Mewar since the times of Maharana Lakha, according to an estimate Zinc production alone amounted to 1,82,000/- a year.
Mewar was blessed with agricultural produces of Macca, Moong, Urad Daal and Rice etc.
The wealth accumulated through the mining activities, strategic location and Maharana Sangaβs victories over Gujarat, Malwa & Delhi Sultanate financed Mewarβs struggle against Islmaic occupation

in the 15-17th century. A king who ruled 10,000 Sq Kms of land with the wealth and resources at his helm, may have a crunch of fighting force due to continuous wars against a dominant power but never had a shortage of funds and food stock.
