Begin by boiling 1.5 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the salt to it.
Slowly add the rice flour into the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Once all the flour is added, turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool down slightly until it's comfortable to handle with your hands.
Grease your hands lightly with the oil. Knead the warm rice dough gently until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a clean surface or using a rolling board, flatten each rice ball by pressing it with your palms or roll it out gently using a rolling pin, until it's about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a little rice flour to prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a tava over medium heat.
Carefully place one rolled bhakari onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until light brown spots appear and it puffs up slightly.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the low fat rice bhakari warm with your choice of curry or chutney.
