Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams chickpea flour (besan)
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams soy flour
- 20 grams flaxseed meal
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 150 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon ghee or clarified butter (optional for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, soy flour, and flaxseed meal.
Add salt, turmeric powder, and cumin seeds to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.
Drizzle olive oil over the dry ingredients and mix until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring with your hand or a spatula, until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in a little more whole wheat flour as needed.
Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a 6-inch disc approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place a rolled bhakri onto the hot griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
Flip the bhakri, and apply a small amount of ghee or clarified butter if using.
Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
Remove the bhakri from the skillet and keep warm by wrapping in a clean cloth. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot with dal, yogurt, or your favorite curry.
