With just 15 minutes of prep time, this easy-to-make recipe offers a satisfying, low-sodium alternative to traditional breads while delivering authentic homemade charm.
In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, low sodium baking powder, cumin seeds, and ground black pepper.
Add warm water gradually to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth, soft dough. It should be pliable and not sticky.
Knead the dough gently for about 5 minutes, incorporating the olive oil and chopped fresh coriander until well combined.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat.
Take one dough ball, and on a clean surface lightly dusted with rice flour, roll it out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Keep the thickness even.
Carefully place the rolled out dough onto the preheated skillet.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until small bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the bhakari using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a cloth or flat spatula to ensure even cooking.
Once both sides are cooked and have light brown spots, remove from the skillet.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the rice bhakari warm with your favorite accompaniment.
