Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 1.5 cups Hot water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or clarified butter
Instructions
Begin by boiling 1.5 cups of water in a saucepan.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add salt and stir.
Gradually add rice flour to the boiling water while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool down slightly, enough to knead by hand.
Once the dough is cool enough to handle, knead it gently to form a smooth, pliable dough. If the dough feels stiff, you can add a little warm water, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small ball.
Lightly dust a clean surface with rice flour. Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hands, then use a rolling pin to gently roll it into a circle of about 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Place the rolled-out bhakari on the skillet.
Cook on one side until small bubbles start to form and the edges lift slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the bhakari and brush a little ghee over the cooked side.
Cook on the second side for another 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown spots appear, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Flip it back again and apply ghee to the other side, cooking for an additional minute if needed.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the Soy-Free Rice Bhakari warm with your favorite curry or vegetable dish.
