Bhakri

Bhakri is a traditional Indian flatbread made from whole wheat flour and is often enjoyed with butter or jaggery. This hearty dish is perfect for a nutritious breakfast, providing a wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 1 cup (120g)
• Rice flour - 1/4 cup (30g)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Warm water - 1/2 cup (120ml)
• Ghee or oil - for cooking
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional)
• Fresh coriander leaves - 1 tablespoon (finely chopped, optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rice flour, and salt. Mix well.
2. Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, kneading until a soft and pliable dough forms. If using, mix in sesame seeds and chopped coriander.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
5. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter, using your hands or a rolling pin.
6. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled bhakri on the tawa.
7. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until small bubbles appear, then flip it over. Apply ghee or oil on top and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining bhakris.
9. Serve hot with butter, jaggery, or yogurt as desired.
