Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Millet flour (Jowar/Bajra)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or clarified butter (or use any plant-based oil for a vegan option)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and millet flour with the salt.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, kneading to form a smooth, stiff dough. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes of kneading.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Lightly dust a rolling surface and rolling pin with whole wheat flour.
Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hands. Roll it out gently into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a thick-bottomed pan or tava (griddle) over medium-high heat.
Place the rolled-out bhakri on the hot pan. Cook one side for about 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles start to appear.
Flip the bhakri and apply a small amount of ghee or oil on the cooked side while the other side cooks for another minute.
Flip again and press gently with a spatula to help it puff up. Flip once more and press again if needed.
Remove from the pan and keep warm while repeating with the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot with your choice of curry, vegetable, or chutney.
